- An interview with a member of the Anesthesia staff
Your prompt arrival allows the staff at Physicians Surgical Center to ensure the surgery schedule flows smoothly for patients and physicians. We want to provide you with the best care possible throughout your experience.
Please communicate any questions or concerns, at any time, during your stay to any member of your health care team so that we may address them quickly and to your satisfaction.
We have prepared a patient information packet below for you so you may know what to expect as well as suggestions to have the best outcome. After verifying that the information we have received from your physician’s office is correct, the receptionist will place a name bracelet and if applicable, an allergy bracelet.
You will be escorted to the pre-procedure area where a nurse will prepare you for your procedure.
