We realize that surgery can be frightening for you and or your child. The pre-operative call with the facility nurse is a great time to ask questions to ease any fears you may be experiencing. In the case of young children having surgery, it is best to have someone along with the driver to help care for the child on the trip home.  If you experience any health changes between your most recent visit with your physician and the date of surgery, notify your physician immediately.  Please report even minor changes, such as an elevated temperature, cough or cold.  If you cannot reach your physician, please call the facility.
