It is not unusual to feel apprehensive undergoing surgery. We are committed to providing exceptional patient care, promoting patient education, and enhancing patient safety.

After your surgery is scheduled by your surgeon's office, a pre-surgical nurse will call you approximately one week prior to your scheduled surgery date.

During this phone call, the nurse will:

  • Review your health history
