To schedule your visit -- Call our office at 281-444-8090. We will see you as soon as possible. The staff will ask you a series of questions on the telephone to assist you in having a more efficient consultation appointment. Please have your insurance card handy when you phone so that we can discuss insurance coverages with you. We accept all major insurance coverages and will make arrangements for payment plans if needed.
For your benefit, please request a copy of all your medical records prior to your consultation and pick them up from your physician(s) office or medical facility. These should include a copy of any recent operative reports and laboratory tests as well as x-ray films (not just reports) and surgical videotapes.
Please go to the forms page of this website and download the form, fill it out and bring it with you to your appointment.
You will meet with Dr. Turnquest, not a representative of his practice. You will find your consult with him to be personal, informative and even entertaining. This is your opportunity to ask the questions you need answers to - what concerns you the most. Meeting you is vital to developing mutual trust, and you will leave the appointment with knowledge, and hopefully, peace of mind about your choices and decisions.
When you have elected that surgery is for you and the insurance is pre-certified you can schedule a date for surgery. You will sign an informed consent, reiterating what the surgery is and what the risks are. You will be given instructions about the surgery center and the times to have your pre-operative visits.
