Office

"It is my sincere commitment to provide you with all of the surgical skills and qualities to give you the specific natural improved appearance you desire." - Robert Clement, M.D.

During your initial consultation, I will give you the time and opportunity to ask questions about your procedure. This will give you an understanding of the surgical procedure you desire and the options to achieve your individual goals will be fully explained. A personal consultation with Dr. Clement allows you time to feel comfortable in our office. This is very important, as you will place tremendous trust in Dr. Clement and his staff. This trust is something that we value and respect and we will do our utmost to warrant that trust.

Most of our procedures are performed in an outpatient surgical facility, meaning that you do not stay overnight. I currently use Austin Surgical Hospital as my primary site of surgery. If a longer procedure is required, or if we do an operation in conjunction with another surgeon, we may use one of the local hospitals. You will be given a full set of instructions for your procedure with pre-op and post-operative instructions. In addition to the surgeon's fee, there will be a fee for the operating room and anesthesia. An estimated fee for the operating room and anesthesia will be provided at the time of your initial visit.

After the surgery, you will have the option to stay overnight at Austin Surgical Hospital. Austin Surgical Hospital has limited availability due to the large, private nature of the patient rooms. The overnight hospital rates are very reasonable and provide you with 24 hour exceptional patient care.
