Information for Patients
Your surgeon has selected Parkway Surgery Center for your outpatient procedure. Our team is dedicated to providing a safe, smooth, and comforting experience from the moment you arrive through your full recovery. We are here to guide you every step of the way and ensure that your visit is as stress-free as possible.
Before Your Procedure
Preparing for surgery is important for your safety and comfort. Prior to your visit, you will receive detailed instructions from your surgeon and our clinical team, including:
Arrival time and check-in instructions tailored to your scheduled procedure.
Fasting guidelines and medication directions, including which prescriptions to continue or pause.
What to bring on the day of surgery, such as identification, insurance information, and a list of current medications.
Comfort considerations, including wearing loose clothing and leaving valuables at home.
Transportation planning, as patients must have a responsible adult drive them home and remain with them after anesthesia.
Parking information and facility access, ensuring a smooth and timely arrival.
Day of Surgery
When you arrive at Parkway Surgery Center, our goal is to make your experience as simple and calm as possible. You can expect the following:
Check-in at our front desk, where our administrative team will guide you through brief documentation and preparation.
Preparation in a private pre-operative bay, where a nurse will take vital signs, review your medical history, and ensure you are comfortable.
Meeting your care team, including your surgeon, anesthesia provider, and nursing staff, who will review the procedure and answer any last questions.
Recovery in a monitored post-operative bay following your surgery, where our clinical team will closely observe your initial healing and manage your comfort.
Your safety and peace of mind are our priorities throughout the entire process.
After Your Procedure
Once your surgery is complete, our team will provide individualized care to support your recovery:
Post-operative monitoring, ensuring you are stable, comfortable, and ready for discharge.
Discharge instructions, reviewed with you and your support person, including medications, wound care, activity guidelines, and follow-up appointments.
Questions and contact information, so you know exactly how to reach your surgeon or care team should concerns arise once you return home.
A smooth transition home, including verification that you have safe transportation and home supervision as required after anesthesia.
Our team at Parkway Surgery Center remains committed to your well-being long after you leave our facility.
