We recognize that most of our patients will arrive at the hospital with a healthy amount of anxiety. For this reason our hospital is staffed with compassionate, caring and experienced nurses who will take every effort to ensure your comfort.
Beyond our nurses responsibilities to you, we want to remind you of several very important things you must do to prevent undue stress the morning of surgery.
First, remember to bring all of your prescription medications in their original prescription bottles, not a daily pillbox.
Second, it is fine to bathe prior to your procedure, but limit the amount of hairspray, make-up, and body lotion applied.
Third, all patients must be accompanied by someone who will be responsible to provide transportation after surgery. Regretfully, your surgery will likely be cancelled if you arrive unaccompanied. Please note that the entrance to registration is on the one-story side of the hospital with a canopy that reads “Hospital Main Entrance.” Please avoid entering through the two-story medical office building as your walk to registration will be much longer.
Fourth, we encourage patients who wear contact lenses to wear glasses the morning of surgery. If this is not possible, please bring the supplies necessary to hold your contact lenses when they are removed.
Lastly, please be sure to bring proof of insurance and government issued photo identification for registration. Our kind and courteous registration staff will work with you to complete important documentation that includes Informed Consent, Patient Rights & Responsibilities and notice of HIPAA rights. All of these documents are available to read on this website by clicking here. Note that registration is not always first come, first serve – rather patients are registered according to the order of surgery set by the surgeon. Please be aware that duration of surgical cases prior to yours may cause prolonged wait time.
