I Was Wondering if Switching Surgery Dates with Another Client is Okay to Do?

Of course, switching surgery dates with another patient may seem reasonable. This only practically applies if you happen to know another patient who is willing or if an opening occurs due to a cancellation.

This seems like a reasonable thing, but it can actually get quite complicated. You should contact your surgeon's office, to see if this is possible.

Switching surgery dates is dependent on the policy of the surgeon. I would imagine that any change would need to be arranged through the office and not directly between patients. This poses a privacy issue and also can cause significant confusion with the scheduler in the office. The best bet is to contact your surgeon and tell them that you are willing to move your date up, if an opening comes up. Hopefully, they will call you if someone else wants a later date. see video
