Home / Out-of-Town Patients
We welcome out-of-town patients! A growing number of Dr. Salemy’s patients fly in from all over the world for plastic surgery. If you are considering traveling to Seattle to have a procedure done with Dr. Salemy, and don’t live in the area you may be interested in learning more about our process for out-of-town patients.
We help patients from all over to achieve their aesthetic goals. We cater to patients not only from the Greater Seattle area but also across the country and all over the world. The Seattle-Tacoma Aiport (SEA) is a major hub for Alaska and Delta Airlines and has multiple non-stop flights from over a hundred locations worldwide. Nested in the picturesque Pacific Northwest of the United States, traveling to our clinic is easy and convenient, accessible via air and land routes. For those flying into SEA airport, our office is a short 20 minute car ride.
If you’re unable to travel to Seattle for your consultation, we recommend a new patient virtual consultation with Dr. Salemy as a first step. Once you’ve set up your virtual consultation, you’ll receive an email link to complete New Patient Forms as well as provide photos if necessary.
Dr. Salemy will meet with you virtually with our HIPAA-secured link to discuss your goals and desired outcomes, and our patient care coordinator will then follow up with a customized quote.
If you elect to travel to Seattle from out of town or state to have a procedure, there are a few important factors you will want to keep in mind. In addition to the initial new patient consultation (which must be completed before scheduling), patients must arrive at least a weekday prior to surgery in order to have a pre-operative appointment.
Another adult must accompany patients in order to provide care for at least the first 24 hours after surgery.
Three weeks prior to surgery, patients will have a phone pre-operative appointment with one of our nurses and Dr. Salemy to go over consent forms, medications, and herbal supplements to discontinue, prescriptions along with pre and post-operative care.
Finally, payment is due in full three weeks prior to surgery. Learn more about our payment options.
Patients are discharged from surgery, on the same day, directly to their accompanying adult. Depending upon the procedure, patients should plan to stay in Seattle for up to a week in order to be seen by Dr. Salemy for post-operative appointments. Subsequent follow-up appointments up to the first year are included in the cost and usually occur at six weeks, and one year.
Dr. Salemy’s office is located in the First Hill neighborhood of downtown Seattle, a twenty-minute cab ride from the Port of Seattle Sea-Tac Airport. All consultations, surgeries, and follow-ups are conducted from our location in the Madison Medical Tower.
We are happy to extend a 10% discount (using discount code “swedish”) to patients of our practice at the historic boutique Sorrento Hotel across the street from our Seattle office. Prices vary from season to season.
Silver Cloud Hotel (Broadway location) is another excellent nearby option, for which patients can call and receive a discount when booking their accommodations.
