Perioperative Medicine

Our multi-skilled team coordinates all the necessary care needed to ensure that you have a seamless and successful surgery. This includes a phone call before the surgery to give the patient instructions about:

  • expected date and time of arrival
  • when you can last eat or drink
  • what you can and cannot wear into the operating room
  • and other specific instructions

Some patients will need to be seen in our Pre-Anesthetic Clinic in the weeks prior to surgery.

Day surgery patients need to arrange to have someone drive them home and stay with them for 24 hours after surgery. Follow up calls are made on the first business day after surgery to ensure that everything is going well post operatively.
