Out-of-Towners: Welcome to Los Angeles
We are honored that you are interested in traveling to Los Angeles for cancer care. We understand how important this treatment is for you and your family. It is a privilege for us to help you get through this challenging health moment in your life.
Many of our cryoablation patients come to us from places as far as Australia, the United Kingdom, South Africa, Eastern Europe and many cities across the U.S. We will do our best to help coordinate with your local healthcare providers and transition your care back to your local healthcare providers. Long after cryoablation is performed, we will also be available to help you make treatment and follow-up decisions related to cryoablation.
To make the process as smooth as possible, we have assembled a list of helpful resources for planning your visit and stay.
Patients from Near and Far
Dr. Holmes’ innovative treatment has drawn patients from over 20 countries and 37 U.S. states, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, South Africa, and more.
How long should you plan your stay?
You will be advised to arrive in Los Angeles 1 day before your procedure. If scheduling permits, you will see Dr. Holmes in the office the afternoon before your procedure or on the same day immediately before the procedure. During this initial appointment, breast examination will be performed and breast and lymph node ultrasound will be repeated by Dr. Holmes. He will also review the treatment plan, discuss the informed consent form, and answer questions remaining questions.
In some cases, it will be necessary for you to arrive a day earlier or stay a little longer if you have agreed to undergo an additional radiology procedure here in Los Angeles. Examples of additional procedure include additional breast imaging, placement of an ultrasound visible marker to facilitate cryoablation, or a lymph node biopsy if it is needed to complete staging or treatment of your breast cancer.
Out of town patients will be scheduled for a follow-up visit in the office the morning after the cryoablation procedure. After this appointment, you'll be free to fly or drive home. A virtual (phone call or video) follow-up appointment will be scheduled with Dr. Holmes 1-2 weeks later.
