Surgical consultations to put you at ease.

If your physician recommends surgery as a part of your treatment plan, they will connect you to a Novant Health surgical navigation clinic. You'll discuss your treatment options, surgery resources, and any necessary pre-surgery preparations so you feel ready for your procedure.

Your personalized consultation may be provided remotely or in person. This visit allows you to meet your surgical team, get answers to your questions on what you can expect in understandable language, and get a care plan specific to your unique needs.
