At the Time of your Procedure

You may bathe or shower the night before or morning of your surgery. Please notify your doctor if you develop any sign of illness during the days immediately before your procedure; even something as minor as a rash or an ant bite near the operative site. A parent or legal guardian must accompany a minor scheduled for surgery and remain at the facility until the minor is discharged. If you are a legal guardian, proof of legal guardianship must be presented before surgery. A responsible adult must be present in the waiting area during the time of surgery and available to drive the patient home.

Valuables such as money, credit cards, jewelry, and valued personal items should not be brought with you to the hospital. Do bring a case for dentures and or glasses or contact lenses with you on the morning of your procedure.

It is recommended that you DO NOT smoke for 12 hours before or after your procedure. Do NOT drink alcohol 24 hours before or after your surgery. This can affect the depth of your anesthesia.

We ask that you bring no more than 2 people with you for your surgery. Only one person will be allowed with you in the recovery/holding area.
