        past medical history, perform an appropriate physical examination and 
        suggest a therapeutic plan for correction of problems. This takes into 
        account the necessity for surgery and whether or not the patient is a 
        good candidate for a particular procedure. Extensive educational materials 
        (including instructional videos) are provided which discuss pre-operative 
        and post-operative care and the surgical procedures being considered.
 Photographs of patients are taken for their medical records, where they 
        remain confidential and are never shown to anyone, as the staff and Dr. 
        Friedland completely respect the privacy of their patients. However, textbook 
        diagrams and textbook "Before" and "After" photographs 
        are available for review. Computer simulation is not used since it is 
         felt that we cannot promise a result which might not be precisely 
        the result achieved by surgery.
 
 If the patient elects to have surgery, the initial consultation fee charged 
        will be deducted from the surgical fee. Major credit cards are accepted 
    for payment, financing plans are available.
