AFTER SURGERY
You can expect to spend approximately 20-60 minutes in the post-anesthesia care unit, depending upon the type of anesthesia and procedure you receive. The nurses in this area will give you instructions for taking care of yourself at home. Should problems or questions arise when you are recovering at home, call your surgeon at the number provided in your discharge instructions.
Information for Family Members & Friends
When we take your family member or friend in for their procedure, please remain in the Surgery Center waiting area, as many of our doctors visit with family/friends after surgery. If an urgent need arises requiring that you must leave, inform personnel at the front desk.
In Case of Emergency
If an emergency arises after normal business hours, call 911 or go directly to your local emergency room. Ask emergency room personnel to contact your surgeon.
