IF YOU ARE HAVING A SURGERY AT OUR FACILITY YOU WILL NEED TO COMPLETE PRE-OP CLEARANCE BEFORE YOUR SURGERY. OUR STAFF WILL CONTACT YOU THE DAY BEFORE YOUR SURGERY TO CONFIRM YOUR ARRIVAL TIME AND NURSE WILL GIVE YOU SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR SURGERY.

SOME SURGERIES REQUIRE YOU TO WEAR A BRACE OR SLING POST SURGERY. YOUR DOCTOR WILL INFORM YOU OF THIS, AND YOU WILL BE CONTACTED  BY A DME COMPANY THAT WILL DELIVER NECESSARY EQUIPMENT TO YOU PRIOR YOUR SURGERY DAY. PLEASE CONTACT US IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T RECEIVED YOUR EQUIPMENT.

YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO HAVE RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM THE SURGERY CENTER AND HAVE A RESPONSIBLE ADULT STAY WITH YOU FOR THE FIRST 24 HOURS. THE DAY OF YOUR SURGERY WE SUGGEST YOU WEAR LOOSE FITTING COMFORTABLE CLOTHES THAT IS EASY TO GET IN AND OUT OF. KEEP IN MIND THE DRESSING POST SURGERY IS USUALLY BULKY, IF YOU ARE GETTING SHOULDER SURGERY YOU SHOULD WEAR SOMETHING LOOSE AND THAT BUTTONED DOWN OR ON A ZIPPER AS YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO RAISE YOUR ARM OVER YOUR HEAD. PLEASE DON'T WEAR ANY MAKEUP, FALSE LASHES OR LOTION THE DAY OF SURGERY. LEAVE ALL YOUR VALUABLES AT HOME AND PLEASE DO NOT WEAR ANY JEWELRY.
