Confirmation
You will receive a call from our patient experience team prior to your procedure date to assist you with any questions or concerns.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in cancellation of your procedure.
Please arrange for an interpreter to accompany the patient and remain until discharge. If an interpreter is unavailable, the facility will provide interpretation
service if arranged in advance.
What time is my procedure?
We will call you within one business day of your appointment to confirm your procedure time. Please plan to arrive one hour before the scheduled time. It is very important to arrive on time.
What should I avoid the night before surgery?
Don’t drink or eat anything, including gum, mints or candy, after midnight. Don’t smoke after midnight.
What should I bring on procedure day?
Bring a copy of your consent form, all insurance cards, and a government-issued ID like a driver’s license. If you need insulin, bring the bottle and syringes. Also bring any boots, splints or special shoes provided by your physician.
Can I drive myself to my procedure?
Please arrange for a responsible adult to transport you to and from the center. We also suggest someone stay with you for 24 hours after the procedure.
What should I leave at home?
No jewelry, cash or valuables, please. We cannot be responsible for their safety. Plan to leave dentures, hearing aids, eyeglasses and contact lenses with the person accompanying you. Please don’t wear makeup.
