Day of Surgery

What you need to know about the Day of Surgery:

Check-in
When you arrive at the Center we ask that you check-in at the registration desk to verify personal and insurance information and  provide us with a means to contact your ride home upon discharge.

Following Admission

  • After checking in, you will be admitted to the pre-op area where a nurse will review your health history with you and prepare you for your surgery or procedure.
  • An anesthesiologist will discuss your anesthesia plan with you and answer any questions you may have.
  • You and your family member or escort will remain in the pre-op area until it is time for you to go to the operating suite.  At the appropriate time you will be escorted to the operating room by your surgical nurse.
  • During surgery your escort may remain in a reception area, and after surgery will rejoin you in the recovery room
