Surgery

• For scheduled surgeries, the office surgical staff will call with an appropriate date and time to meet your needs.

• You should arrive about 90 minutes early on the day of surgery.

• The surgeon will discuss the benefits and risks of the surgery.
• We can give you surgical education brochures and pamphlets along with pre- and post-operative instructions.
• We encourage any and all questions about the surgical procedure and recovery time.
• We will schedule you for pre-admission testing one week prior to the actual surgery.

Radiology Studies

• The radiology images are imperative to the surgeons’ evaluation.
• It is the patient’s responsibility to obtain copies of radiology images and bring them to the office visit.

MRI and CT scans are necessary to provide anatomic detail and assess progression.
