When you arrive at our center we ask that you check in to verify personal, escort, and insurance information.
After checking in at our center, a nurse will do a health interview and prepare you for surgery. An anesthesiologist will discuss your anesthesia with you and answer any questions. You will then be escorted to the operating room. During surgery, your escort will stay in a waiting area and will rejoin you after your surgery.
