What to expect

Professionalism, Precision, Pride… Knowing what to expect during your evaluation with us at Arizona Head, Neck and Facial Surgery and the Arizona Sinus Center will allow you to feel comfortable and confident throughout the visit. After being greeted by Cheryl at the front desk, you will meet Stephanie, our medical assistant. She will take a detailed health history through reviewing your health record and a personal interview. Copies of test results, imaging reports and previous medical or surgical treatment will be placed in your chart.

You will then meet Dr. Rehl, who will discuss your complaints, confirm your medical history and personally review your previous records with you. Any digital imaging studies will be loaded onto a computer and reviewed with you in detail. A full head and neck, ear, nose and throat exam will be performed. When indicated, numbing spray is applied to the nasal and throat tissues and nasal endoscopy or flexible laryngoscopy are performed. Our video endoscopy set-up allows you to see what the physician sees during your exam. This is an excellent opportunity for Dr. Rehl to point out abnormalities and for you to ask questions. Your suspected diagnosis or clinical problem will be discussed and all of your questions answered. In latin, “doctor” means “teacher”. We take this word origin literally and we expect you to leave the office educated on your condition. Additionally, you will leave with a written visit summary detailing your condition or suspected diagnosis, tests recommended, prescriptions written, suggested consultations and suggested reading. Often, Dr. Rehl and his staff will provide you with literature to review prior to your follow-up visit. Correspondence is often sent to your referring physician or your primary care physician.
