Where do I leave my phone during surgery?

May I bring my cell phone? Since many rely on cell phones for communication and information storage, you may bring your cell phone with you. However, be prepared to leave it with your accompanying adult or have it turned off during your time in the facility.

Why Choose an Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC)?

When patients choose to use an outpatient surgery center, most find that the process is much more convenient, as well as more personal. Our specialized, focused staff helps each patient's visit go as quickly and smoothly as possible. All procedures are scheduled. We know exactly how many patients we will serve each day and that number is limited to ensure very individualized care. Surgeries are rarely bumped or delayed by an emergency case. Since we do not have the overhead associated with a hospital, an ASC is typically able to perform your procedure at the same high level of care but at a lower cost, an especially nice advantage if you have a copay and/or high deductible. We see surgical patients only. If a scheduled patient becomes ill, the surgery will be postponed. This reduces the chance of cross infection and lowers the opportunity for someone else’s illness to become yours.

What do I need to do before my surgery date?

We can easily complete all the paperwork needed when you are admitted on the day of your surgery. A blank health history form is available on this site (insert link) if you would like to fill it out before you arrive. It is also helpful to bring a list of all medications. Be sure to include any herbal medications or “over the counter” products, like aspirins or diet aids. Some patients do choose to come to the Center before their actual surgery date to complete the registration forms, fill out a health history questionnaire or to make a payment. This is entirely up to you. You’re welcome to stop by anytime during normal business hours. If your child is having a procedure, a visit to the Center before the day of surgery is often helpful and comforting.

Will I be contacted before my surgery?

Yes, we call each patient before their surgery to gather information and answer any questions you may have for us. You will be contacted by a nurse and, as needed, by the business office.

What if I need to cancel my surgery?

Please notify both your surgeon’s office and the Surgery Center at 619-299-9530 as early as possible if you cannot make your scheduled appointment.

What should I do if I am not feeling well prior to my surgery date?

If you are not feeling well, please contact your surgeon immediately. During normal business hours, you may also call the Center at 619-299-9530 for advice. Your surgery may need to be rescheduled.

What should I wear?

Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes. Please do not wear any make-up. Leave all jewelry at home, including body-piercings. If you wear contact lenses, consider wearing your glasses instead; otherwise, please bring contact solution and your contacts case.

Should I bathe before leaving home?

Yes, it is actually recommended to shower or bathe before your surgery to reduce the chance of infection.
