Dr. Mesiwala was featured on the cover of this month's edition of Outpatient Surgery. In the magazine, Dr. Mesiwala discusses a range of topics from patient education to outpatient spine surgery:
"You want to give people the most information possible so there are no surprises. When I started performing outpatient surgery in 2008, same-day wasn't the norm. It was pretty much unheard of. We had to drive home why we were doing the procedure the way we were and say, 'We're not going to perform your procedure in an inpatient setting – we're going to perform it outpatient. These are the reasons why.'"
