Estimates
The prices listed below are good-faith estimates. Individual prices may vary. Surgery prices include all follow-up visits within the 90-day postoperative period but do not include the cost of a mandatory initial consultation. All patients undergoing surgery have the risk of complications resulting in hospitalization. Although LA-Surgical will not charge a professional fee for services provided during the 90-day postoperative period, the hospital which the patient is admitted to will and the patient will be responsible for these costs.
