Patient Info

Our goal is to make patients and their loved ones feel at ease before, during, and after their procedure. You will find general information here to give you a better understanding of what to expect.

You will receive a text message before surgery explaining when to come to the surgery center and stop eating and drinking. If you do not receive text messages, someone will call you with the information.

Please arrive on time so we can help you with all the necessary admission procedures. The admission process includes signing consent forms and providing family/friend contact information. Once complete, you will go into the pre-operative area and will be given a hospital gown to wear. Please remove jewelry, contact lenses, dentures and any prosthesis. If you are under the age of 18, a parent or legal guardian must remain in the building. We encourage family members and friends to stay on premises as well.

Once your procedure has been completed, you’ll be moved to a recovery area where we can monitor you. Typically patients are discharged within 1-3 hours after surgery. Once you’re fully awake, your family can join you in the recovery area, too. Many people experience some discomfort, drowsiness, or dizziness, depending on what type of anesthesia they received.

Before being discharged, you will be given specific instructions on how to care for yourself at home. For the first 24 hours following your procedure, you should avoid strenuous activity, alcoholic beverages, driving, and making critical decisions. The day after your procedure, we will attempt to follow up and ask how recovery is going. If you have any questions of a surgical nature or prescription questions, please contact your surgeon’s office directly.
