Surgical Services
 Having surgery can be frightening, both for the individual
who will be undergoing surgery as well as his/her family
members. Our surgical services department is committed
to helping make this experience less stressful for you
and your family. The personalized care and attention
we provide to our patients and families offer a comforting
atmosphere that will help to alleviate any fears you
or your loved one may have.
We have high standards for the quality of
care we provide, and hope this is evident in the services
we offer to you and your family. You can trust your
care to our surgical teams, which include board-certified
surgeons and anesthesiologists and other specialty physicians
who use our operating rooms. These physicians are supported
by highly-skilled nurses and technicians who are devoted
to ensuring a positive surgical experience for you and
your family.
We perform both inpatient and outpatient surgery as
well as laser surgery in our modern operating rooms,
which are equipped with the latest technology and equipment.
Besides six major operating rooms, our surgery department
also features three endoscopy rooms and a cystoscopy
room, along with a
Pain Management Center. Our surgical services department
performs an average of 1000 procedures each month, including
many types of surgery except neurosurgery and thoracic
surgery. We also have a board-certified spine surgeon on the medical staff.
You will receive a phone call from a preoperative nurse, who will obtain your medical history and provide information pertaining to your scheduled procedures. All patients scheduled for a total joint replacement will be scheduled to attend a preoperative class, which will coordinate the care you receive from the many skilled professionals involved in your hospital stay. Through this class, you will also receive valuable information and education to hasten your return to your normal activities of daily living.
When you arrive for surgery, we ask that you sign in
with an attendant in our registration area. From there,
you will be directed to the surgical waiting room. The
surgical waiting room has refreshments, a television
and reading material. After checking in, you will be
taken to our nine-bed pre-operative holding room, where
you will stay until time for your surgery. A family
member will be allowed to stay with you during this
time. During surgery, a volunteer is available in the
surgery waiting room to communicate information from
the surgery team to your family as well as to assist
you and family members as needed.
After your surgery, you will recover in one of two
separate recovery rooms, where a specially-trained team
of nurses provides care during your postoperative period.
Together, our recovery units offer 17 total beds with
placement determined by your needs for recuperating.
