We have two convenient locations, The Water Tower Place on the Chicago Gold Coast and the northwest suburbs.

In order for us to accurately set up your surgery, it would be optimal for you to come in for a pre operative consultation. However, we understand that many patients’ travel long distances and it is difficult to schedule out of town visits. Many surgical procedures can be performed the same day as the initial visit and consultation, but this will require much detailed planning and preparation. You can download the appropriate patient forms from our website to make your visit as stress free as possible.

Various surgical procedures will require you to have assistance in the early stages following your surgery. For these specific procedures, it is mandatory for you to have a companion at the time of discharge from the surgical facility. If you are traveling alone, our office can make accommodations to assist you for your post operative care.

While virtual consultations are an option, they do not always mean an adequate assessment. The surgical procedure/ plan and fees may change when the physical exam is completed.

Dr. Placik and his staff invest a lot of time and energy into our out of town patients because we know they often travel great distances to see us. We are committed to making this an easy and relaxing journey.

Although the incidence of compilations are low, surgery involves risks and there is a possibility that you will require medical care on an emergency basis once you return home. You should make arrangements for this or be prepared to call 911.
