The day of surgery.

If you are taking any medications, you should take them as instructed by the MiOrtho staff. However, drink only a small sip of water if you need to take medication within 2 hours of your arrival time. If you have any questions regarding your medications, call us at 248-234-9317.

Wear comfortable clothing that can be easily removed. Do not wear any jewelry. Do not wear any make-up. If you wear contacts, bring a contact lens case and your glasses. If you use a hearing aid, you may bring it with you. If you are having shoulder surgery, wear a large button-down top and elastic pants. We also recommend bringing a pillow in the car for the ride home.

To allow for registration and a nursing evaluation, please arrive at the MiOrtho Surgery Center at the time our staff has provided you.

Please bring your driver’s license and your current insurance card with you. If you do not have a driver’s license, another form of identification will be required.

We have reserved parking for our patients located at our entrance. Once inside, your registration will be completed and your nurse will escort you to the pre-op area, where your nurse will conduct a short assessment. Next, your anesthesiologist will review your medical history, do a short physical examination, and discuss the anesthesia to be used for your surgery. 

If you are pregnant, or could possibly be pregnant, please notify us immediately upon arrival. Medications, anesthesia, and/or the use of radiation may harm your developing fetus.
