Before your procedure

Your care team will provide instructions for your procedure, arrival time, eating and drinking, medicines and transportation. These instructions are specific to you. Call the team when anything is unclear.

• Share an accurate list of prescriptions, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, supplements, allergies and relevant health history.
• Ask your surgeon or anesthesia team about all medication instructions. Do not independently stop or start medicines based on this website.
• Arrange a responsible adult to drive you home and stay with you for 24 hours, unless your provider specifically exempts you from that requirement.
• Ask about insurance coverage, the facility estimate and any separate surgeon or anesthesia charges.
• Tell us about interpreter services, communication aids or other assistance you need.
• Bring a copy of any advance directive or health care representative document and discuss it with the team before your procedure.

On the day of your procedure

Follow the arrival and preparation instructions you receive from the center. Bring the identification, insurance information and paperwork requested by the team. Call before arriving when you are ill, your health has changed, or you have been unable to follow an instruction.

Directions to the street address are available below. Call the center to confirm the correct entrance and arrival arrangements.

After your procedure

Before leaving, make sure you and your support person understand your discharge instructions, follow-up arrangements and the number to call with questions. Recovery and discharge plans depend on your procedure and clinical needs; a same-day discharge is not guaranteed by this website.
