Support Before and After Your Procedure
When surgery is part of your care plan, it helps to know where to turn for practical questions. Our Surgery & Patient Resources department can assist with surgical coordination and direct you to the instructions provided for your procedure.
Your treating team gives the instructions that apply to you. Confirm that you have the correct documents, understand your next appointment, and know how to contact the practice if you need help.
