You will receive another phone call from our team 24 hours before your surgery to let you know what time to arrive. They will provide details about your visit, including the need to bring a care partner with you. Your procedure cannot take place without your care partner with you. They should plan to stay in the building during your procedure and remain your care partner for the first 24 hours after your surgery.
