Please do not wear any make-up as this can hide certain clinical signs. Please remove all body piercings. Please do not bring any valuables with you to the procedure.
Please discuss your daily medications and herbal supplements with your care team prior to the day of your procedure. They will give you specific instructions to follow on the day of your procedure. Please bring all your medications with you.
Herbal medications may have harmful effects on the procedure. Many of these remedies may effect your clotting mechanism and interfere with the anesthetic agents.

Yes. We call each patient before the procedure to gather information and to helpful to us and hopefully answer any of your questions. Preoperative instructions will be given by the nurse who calls you. You can also call the Center directly with any questions.
We would strongly recommend that all patients have a ride home and will be received by a responsible adult when they arrive home. Please make the appropriate arrangements.
We will make every effort to accommodate any special needs you may have. We strongly encourage you to call in advance so that we can properly prepare to make you comfortable. Do not hesitate to call and suggest anything that may make your day easier.
