What should I expect during first visit?

For your initial visit with us, you will fill in a detailed health questionnaire before seeing Dr Cubbage for your consultation. He will examine you, and review any X- rays or other test results that you have with you.

Dr Cubbage will give you his opinion and any recommendations on your condition and together you will decide the best individual treatment plan. You will have the opportunity to ask many questions.

If an operation is needed, Dr Cubbage will explain the specific procedure, help you understand what it involves, and explain the risks and benefits to you. You will also meet with the Practice nurse who will provide you with further information pre-operatively. Please feel free to ask as many questions as you like during this time. The practice Nurse will also see you after your operation and you are free to contact her with any further questions or issues.

You will also be able to keep in contact with Dr Cubbage and the practice Nurse through the After-hours contact number on (281) 517-8515 .
