Types of Surgeries Performed

Pre-Surgical Testing

The primary goal of pre-surgical testing is to ensure your safety during surgery. You may be instructed to visit your primary care provider for a History and Physical (H&P) exam before your procedure. This evaluation, performed by the provider who knows you best, helps identify any potential health concerns that may affect anesthesia or surgical outcomes.

Pre-Surgical Steps:

• You will receive a folder with detailed doctor’s orders for any required bloodwork or diagnostic testing.
• your physician may identify additional testing that is needed

The goal of pre-surgical testing is to identify and resolve any potential health issues to ensure a smooth surgery day.

Pre-Surgery Instructions

• Communication: You will receive a call from our Surgery staff a few days before your procedure with specific instructions and details.
• Support Person: One support person may accompany you to the hospital and must drive you home after surgery. If you are under general anesthesia or sedation, an adult must care for you for 12-24 hours post-surgery.
