Day of Your Procedure

On the day of your procedure, we’ll do everything in our power to make sure you’re as comfortable as possible. Our team of highly skilled specialists, nurses and technicians will perform your procedure with expert precision and efficiency to ensure your comfort and quick recovery.

What to bring with you:

• Bring all insurance materials. These include insurance identification cards and forms. You should be prepared to pay any deductible and co-insurance on the day of surgery.
• Bring a personal photo ID such as a driver’s license.
• Bring a Power of Attorney document (If applicable). 

How to ensure the best possible outcome for your procedure:

• Be sure to arrive at least 1½ hours before your scheduled surgery, or as directed by your physician. Your doctor will give you the exact time. This allows time for routine pre-operative preparations. Wear loose, comfortable clothing and leave any jewelry and valuables at home.
• Do not eat or drink anything after midnight the night before surgery unless otherwise instructed. You will receive instructions regarding your usual medications and which ones are to be taken the morning of surgery.
• Arrange for a ride home. Anesthesia and medication will slow your reflexes and may make you feel drowsy. Driving will be dangerous and you MUST arrange for a ride home. When it is time for you to be discharged, verbal and written instructions will be provided for your care at home.
• Do not use public transportation (buses, taxis, etc.) to get home. When it is time for you to be discharged, verbal and written instructions will be provided for your care at home. Because it is normal to feel dizzy and sleepy after surgery, a responsible adult must drive you home.
