Arrival:
It is important that you arrive at the Center one hour before your procedure unless you are instructed otherwise. Please remember to bring your photo ID, your insurance card and accepted method of payment for any money due at the time of registration.

After Surgery:
In the recovery room, you will be under close observation by the anesthesiologist and the recovery room nurses. We encourage all of our doctors to talk to a family member/friend upon completion of your procedure and it is, therefore, important for this person to remain in the building.

Your surgeon will provide post-operative instructions and the Center will provide a written summary of these instructions.

If you had any anesthesia/pain medication, avoid the following for 24 hours:

• Driving, operating vehicles/equipment/machinery
• Signing important papers
• Making important decisions
• Drinking alcoholic beverages

Should you experience any unexpected complications or concerns, contact your surgeon or his/her designee. If you experience an emergency, call 911.
