Once your surgery has been scheduled, you will receive a pre-operative packet in the mail from our office to review all the necessary instructions. Please review the entire pre-operative packet and call the office with any further questions.
Most patients require pre-procedural testing to be completed before surgery. In many cases, medical clearance is required by your pediatrician or primary care doctor in order to be cleared for surgery. Our office will send your physician the necessary documentation required for the medical clearance. Please feel free to ask us any questions before surgery.
Please remember that a parent or legal guardian needs to be with your child on the day of the surgery. We strongly recommend that you arrange for other children in the family to stay with friends or family.
It is imperative that your child is in the best health prior to their surgery. Please let your surgeon know if your child has had any change in their usual health or has any of the following conditions:
Follow the physicians post-operative discharge instructions as directed.
