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 procdure with expert precision and efficiancy 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 onthe 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 preoperative preparations.  
• Wear loose, comfortable clothing and a short sleeved or button-up shirt. 
• Leave any jewelry and valuable at home. 
• Do not eat or drink anything after midnight the night before surgery unless otherwise isntructed.  You will receive instructions regarding your usual medications and which ones are to be taken the morning of surgery. 
• Arrange for a responsible party to stay with you the whole time at the surgery center and get you home safely.  Anesthesia and medication will slow your reflexes and may make you feel drowsy.  We will not discharge you to go home in an Uber or a cab. 
• A discharge nurse will go over the post operative instructions with yo an dyour responsible party prior to arriving at the pre-operative care area.  You will be given written instructions for your care at home and confirmation that someone age 18 or older will be available to provide the post-operative care for the length of time rquiered by the physician.
