What will I do when I go home from the hospital?

Prescriptions will be given to you before you are discharged from the hospital. Follow up instructions pertaining to your surgery will also be provided either at the hospital prior to your discharge or mailed to your home. In addition to follow up instructions a follow up appointment with your surgeon will also be made; this appointment will be documented on your follow up instructions. Our office makes every effort to call and check on you after surgery. At this time the post operative instructions and follow up appointment with your surgeon will be reviewed.

Other doctors may also want to see you and they individually will arrange for follow up care with you. If you have any questions about what you should be doing after you go home, please feel free to discuss this with a nurse or physician before you are discharged or feel free to call them in the office after your discharge.
