Pre-Surgical Instructions

Our priority is your safety and comfort. To keep you safe we ask that you do not smoke or drink any alcoholic beverages the night before or the day of your surgery. If you use a medication like a rescue inhaler or nitroglycerin, please bring it with you to your appointments. To keep you comfortable we ask that you wear a short-sleeved shirt and relaxed clothing.
