Inpatient and Outpatient Surgeries

Your doctor has arranged with the hospital your admission. A registrar will call you at home a few days before to obtain registration information and answer your questions. Your doctor may also request that you have certain tests preformed a few days before you are admitted.

You may begin the pre-surgery process up to one week before your scheduled surgery. During your pre-surgery registration and testing, you will meet a member of our nursing staff who will review your health history and give you detailed instructions for the day of your surgery and answer any questions you might have. If you need any lab, xray or EKG tests, these can be done during your visit unless your insurance requires them to be done elsewhere.

What to bring:

• Your insurance card (s)
• Orders from your doctor
• If you have completed an Advance Health Care Directive form, please bring a copy with you.
• A list of your current medications.
• For patients under 18, a parent or guardian must sign consent forms. Guardians must present their copy of the court order granting their guardianship of the minor when registering.
• Pre-surgery office hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

• Follow your physician’s instructions about eating and medications prior to arriving for surgery.
