Outpatient Services
Same-Day Surgeries & Medical Procedures
An outpatient procedure is a surgery where a patient checks into and is discharged from the hospital on the same day. Most minimally invasive surgeries are outpatient procedures. A minimally invasive surgery is one where the surgeon does not need to make large incisions to perform the operation.
Our operating rooms feature state-of-the-art technology and monitoring equipment to facilitate safer, more efficient surgery and anesthesia services. From the moment you arrive for your operation, a member of our team will guide you to where you need to be.
We offer the following outpatient therapy and surgery services:
- Iron infusions
- YAG laser treatments
- Blood transfusions
- Wound care
- IV hydration
- Catheter care
- Needle directed biopsies
- IV antibiotic therapy
- PICC lines
Some things to keep in mind for the day of your surgery:
- Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing
- Do not wear any makeup or jewelry
- Do not put any lotions or creams on your skin
- Many procedures demand that you do not eat or drink for 12 hours beforehand- this includes water, gum, and hard candies
- If your procedure involves anesthesia, make sure you have a ride to and from the hospital as you will not be able to operate a vehicle for 24 hours
Please contact us if you have any questions about your procedure. Our team will be happy to answer any of your questions or provide you with a reminder of what we need from you for the day of the procedure.
