Prepare for Surgery

Once your surgery has been scheduled, your doctor will give you specific information. You will also get a call from one of our specially-trained nurses prior to your surgery date to review your pre-operative instructions. This includes what to eat or drink, medications to take, and arrival time.

These instructions will help ensure your comfort and reduce the possibilities of complications.

1. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight (including water, mints and chewing gum) the night before your surgery. And follow all preparation instructions, thoroughly. Undigested food can cause serious complications and incomplete preparation may cause your procedure to be postponed.  Our pre-op nurses will discuss these matters with you in detail.
2. Bathe or shower and brush your teeth (without swallowing any water).
3. Wear loose, casual clothing, leave jewelry at home and bring a case for your eyeglasses. You will be given a bag to hold your personal items.
4. Arrange for an adult to drive you home, and if possible, stay with you for the first 24 hours after surgery.
5. If you experience any health changes prior to surgery, or if you suspect you are pregnant, notify your doctor. Please report even minor symptoms such as low-grade fever, cough or cold.
6. Diagnostic studies and lab work will be taken care of by your doctor. They will arrange for any tests and discuss where they can be performed.
7. If your child is having surgery, feel free to bring a favorite toy. Stuffed animals or blankets help comfort and reassure small children.

The Day of Your Procedure

On the day of your appointment, plan to arrive at least one hour before your scheduled surgery so you can fill out necessary paperwork and be prepped for surgery by our nursing staff. Children must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

After Your Procedure

After surgery you will be moved to our fully-equipped recovery area where you will remain under close observation by our anesthesiologist and recovery nurses until you are ready to go home. Most patients are able to leave one or two hours after the procedure. Your surgeon will provide instructions on diet, medications, rest and post-op visits, and our staff will give you a written summary of these instructions.

We Welcome Your Suggestions

No one is better qualified than you to measure our success. Please complete the confidential patient questionnaire and return it to us the week after your surgery. Your comments and suggestions will help us continue to provide the level of care you expect and deserve.

Financial Arrangements

The Center provides superior care in a cost-effective manner: Our fees include all routine supplies, equipment and nursing services required for your procedure. Your physician may request special items, such as braces, implants, or x-rays, for which you may be charged. Your surgeon, anesthesiologists, and pathologist (if applicable) will bill you separately for their services.

You will be called prior to your surgery day to verify insurance information and make financial arrangements. The Center participates in Medicare, Medicaid, and many HMOs and PPOs. If your insurance requires special authorizations, referrals or claim forms, it is important that you bring them with you. Please bring all current health insurance identification cards. Depending on your type of insurance, deductible and co-payment requirements, you may be asked to bring a deposit with you. The Center accepts MasterCard and Visa. Special financing may also be available for cosmetic procedures.
