After Surgery
Inpatient Surgery
For patients being admitted, once you have cleared our post operative recovery area, you will be transported to a private patient room where you will meet your nurse and other members of the support staff. During this time it’s very important to let us know how your pain is being controlled and if there is anything we can do to make your care better.

Outpatient Surgery
If you are having outpatient surgery, you will be discharged from the post operative recovery unit.
When you are ready to be discharged from the hospital, your physician will write at-home instructions and a follow-up care plan and prescriptions for you. It’s important to:
- Ask any questions you have
- Get your medications filled right away
- Make your follow-up care appointment with your physician
Once you are discharged, expect a phone call from us within 24-48 hours. Please make sure we have your correct number.
