Coronavirus Updates & Prevention Tips for Our Patients

During this time, our number one priority is the health and well-being of our patients. As we receive more information about the COVID-19 crisis, we are making changes to the way our office will run. That being said, we will work within the law to provide the best support to our patients in the safest way possible.

Vado Plastic Surgery Updates

As of Friday, March 20th, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis released executive order 20-72, which bars all non-emergency procedures through May 9th. Due to this, we have made some changes to the way our office will be operating. We would appreciate if you take brief moment to read through the changes and recommendations related to the COVID-19 pandemic:

• Surgery: All surgery cases through May 9th are postponed. Patients with postponed appointments will be contacted for rescheduling when we have confidence as to when the ban will be lifted. Upon the lift of the elective surgery ban, all postponed surgeries will have priority scheduling on open days. Additionally, we will be adding weekend surgical days to increase surgical appointment availability.
• Post-op: One week post-operative appointments will be conducted in-office as planned.
• Follow up: All follow-up appointments will be converted to virtual appointments. Dr. Z will be available for in-office appointments as deemed required at the virtual appointment.
• Consultations: As we do not know available surgery dates at this time, all consults (virtual and in-office) will be postponed.
• Injection and Medspa: All Injection and Medspa Appointments will be postponed until further notice.
