The Day Before

One business day before your procedure, you will receive an afternoon call from an Outpatient Surgery nurse. (Nurses will not call you on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday.) Please make sure we have an accurate phone number so that we may reach you.

  • At this time, the nurse will give you pre-op information.
  • Directions to Outpatient Surgery will be given if you need them.

Follow all pre-op instructions given to you by your doctor (such as bowel prep, special surgical scrubs, etc.)

Bathe or shower and wash your hair.
