• Please bathe or shower prior to coming in for surgery. Remove all of your makeup, jewelry, and hairpieces.
• Wear loose, comfortable clothing such as sweat suits, easy button shirts, or blouses that are large in case you have a large bandage aftersurgery. Also be sure to wear comfortable shoes.
• Leave all valuables at home.
• Remember to bring your valid picture ID & insurance card with you
• Bring a list of your medication(s), both prescription and non-prescription. Please include the dosage(s).
• Be prepared to sign form(s) giving your consent for the operation. If the patient is under 18, a parent or legal guardian must accompany the child and sign the consent form(s).
• Arrange in advance for a responsible adult to drive you home and to remain with you for the first 24 hours after surgery. You cannot drive yourself and should not be left alone.
• Please be sure you registered on-line or bring this packet and all paperwork included with you on the day of surgery.
• Please arrive promptly for your scheduled procedure. Check the appointment card on the right- hand pocket for the time of your surgery.
