Expectations
What should I expect when I arrive at the Center?
On the day of your procedure, you should arrive at the scheduled appointment time to allow time for admitting and pre-procedure preparation. If you have not already done so, you will also be asked to sign a consent form for your procedure, which acknowledges your permission for the physician and facility to care for you. If the patient is a minor, this form must be signed by a parent or legal guardian.
Please limit the number of people who accompany you to the Center. To maximize the comfort of all visitors, we suggest that adult patients be accompanied by only one person. This person may be with you before and after surgery. However, we do encourage both parents of the pediatric patient to come to the Center.
The single most important thing you can do to keep from getting sick and to stop the spread of disease-causing germs is to wash your hands often. By frequently washing your hands, you wash away germs that you may have picked up from other people or from contaminated surfaces.
