- Upon arrival, a receptionist will check you in for your procedure. Please make sure to have your photo ID and insurance card with you for check-in.
- A pre-op nurse will get you settled into a room where you will change into a gown, be given a warm blanket, have your vital signs checked and an IV placed.
- The anesthesia team will meet with you and talk about the different types of anesthesia as well as the risks, complications, and benefits of the anesthesia used.
- Your surgeon and his or her surgical team will also stop in to answer any final questions. Please come with a list of questions if you have them.
