Prepare for Surgery

Your surgical procedure will be scheduled through your surgeon’s office. At this time, you will sign your operative consent. You will also be given written instructions, including a password to sign onto our Simple Admit platform to collect your medical history.

The day before your surgery, you will receive a call from one of our pre-op nurses who will specify the time for your arrival at the surgery center. Together, you can talk confidentially about your medical history, anesthesia experiences, and any medications and supplements you may be taking. If you have not heard from us by 2:00 PM the day before your procedure, please call us at 267.954.1200 and ask for our pre-op department.

COVID protocols are in place for the safety of our patients, doctors and staff. Protocols will be reviewed during your pre-op call.

If you have a financial obligation, you will receive a text and/or email from Clariti outlining the breakdown of your financial responsibility. Our insurance verifier will call as needed. If you have any questions about your financial responsibility, please call 267.954.1200 and ask to speak with our insurance verifier.

Prior to your day of surgery, please review Patient Rights & Responsibilities, Advance Directives Policy and Ownership Disclosure. Or, you may obtain them from your doctor’s office. Federal regulations require that you review these notices before your surgery.

If you experience any change in your physical condition, such as a cold, cough or fever, notify your doctor prior to your surgery.

You must have a responsible adult drive you home after surgery and stay with you through the night. Do not rely on a taxi, Uber, Lyft or any type of public transportation. If this is a problem, please notify your doctor or our center nurse when she calls.
