Traveling from Out of Town

We want our out of town patients to feel at ease during their visit to our clinic in Canton, Georgia. That’s why we’ve compiled this step-by-step guide explaining exactly what you can expect.

The charming cities of Canton and nearby Woodstock are just 30 minutes north of Atlanta and sit in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. During your downtime, you may want to explore the exceptional shopping, restaurants, attractions and the many outdoor activities our communities have to offer.

The First Step – Contact Our Office

The first step for out of town patients is to contact our office to schedule a phone consultation with one of our doctors. If you have photos to provide for the consultation, you’ll be given a secure designated e-mail address to send the photos so that your provider can review and understand your surgical needs.

Following your consultation, you’ll be contacted by our scheduling team to set up a preoperative examination appointment and your surgical date.

Traveling to Canton

If you are flying to Atlanta, we recommend that you fly into Hartsfield Jackson International Airport, located about one hour from our Canton office. Once you arrive, you may choose from several transportation options. We have provided helpful links for you below.

Your Accommodations

Your Pre-Op Appointment

Your pre-op appointment will typically take place the day before your surgery. During this appointment, your doctor will examine you, explain again what to expect during your surgery, discuss what your recovery will be like, and answer any questions you may have. Rest assured, you will be able to contact your doctor with any issues or questions before you arrive – and after you depart.

Checking Into Your Hotel After Your Pre-Op Appointment

The check-in time at both Hampton Inn and Holiday Inn Express is 3 pm. However, as a patient of Vaginal Health Center, they may be able to accommodate an earlier check-in. If desired, please give them a call.

When checking in, be sure to tell them that you are a patient of Vaginal Health Center and that you will be receiving surgery at either our office or at Northside Hospital Cherokee to ensure you receive the reduced rate.

If you’re unable to check-in immediately after your pre-op appointment, we’ve provided several links to restaurants, shopping and other nearby activities below.

After Your Surgery

We want you to be as comfortable as possible so after your surgery, you will return to your room where you can rest in private. If you have arrived for your surgery alone, a Medical Assistant will provide transport from our office to the hotel. That evening, our nurse will come by to check on you. The following morning, your doctor and their medical assistant will do a post-op visit to ensure everything is going well and answer any additional questions or concerns you might have.

Canton and Woodstock Restaurants, Shops and Activities

You may want to get out and explore during your downtime so we’ve provided the following list for your convenience.

For upscale dining, Downtown Woodstock is just ten minutes away, featuring award winning restaurants such as Century House, Vingenzo’s and Salt Factory Pub.
