The Jacksonville Plastic Surgery Center, Inc., our onsite outpatient surgery facility, is a modern, fully equipped outpatient center. It meets the high national standards of, and is accredited by, the American Association for the Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF). This is where the majority of our surgeries are performed comfortably and safely using local anesthesia and intravenous sedation. For those situations when a general anesthesia is indicated, we use nearby centers staffed by Board Certified Anesthesiologists.

- Consultations
Upon arrival new patients receive an information / personal health questionare to complete. They are then escorted to the Audio-Visual room to view a video, if appropriate for their desired procedure. They are then seen in consultation by Dr. Obi and his assistant for a discussion of their areas of interest, a review of their medical history and examination. A very detailed description of the procedure as well as possible options for treatment in addition to the risks is then carried out, and any questions are answered. They may then consult with our Surgery Coordinator regarding the timing of surgery and the necessary arrangements. A pre-operative consultation visit is scheduled prior to surgery to again discuss the planned procedure and answer any questions.
