| How long will my clinic appointment take?
|
| Our goal is to make sure each patient is seen promptly. Our neurosurgeons typically devote specific days each week in clinic because they also manage treatment programs, perform surgeries, and teach. For this reason, please allow 2-3 hours for your appointment, especially if unscheduled emergencies delay the doctor.

| How long will my clinic appointment take?

| Please allow at least two hours for your appointment. We recommend that you do not make any other appointment in this time. Every effort will be made to see you on time, however UN is part of a busy public teaching hospital, and unplanned demands on medical staff can occur causing possible delays.
