The days before your surgery.

Prior to your surgery.

You will receive two calls from our office prior to your surgery. Our clinical staff will contact you to review your health status, go over pre-operative instructions, and identify any special needs you may have. A second call with your arrival time will be made the day prior to your procedure. If you have a deductible, co-payment, or co-insurance due, our billing office will notify you. We are always available to answer your questions or find the answers for you, and we encourage you to tell us if there is anything you do not understand or if you would like us to explain something in more detail.

If your medications include blood thinners, you will need to discuss this with your surgeon prior to your surgery. Please call us at 248-234-9317 if you have not discussed blood thinners with your surgeon before the day of your surgery. It is important to follow all instructions your surgeon has given you. 

To assure your safety during recovery from anesthesia, you must arrange for an adult to accompany you to your appointment and drive you home upon your discharge. If you do not have a ride your appointment will be cancelled.  

The night before your surgery.

Please bathe or shower the night before or the morning of surgery to minimize the risk of infection. Also brush your teeth, but do not swallow any water. Do not eat or drink anything after 11:00 pm the night before your surgery, unless instructed otherwise. Refrain from smoking after midnight the night before surgery.

Please bring all your medications with you in their original containers. If you use an inhaler, bring it with you. If your physician has given you medical records or other documents related to your surgery, please bring them with you.
