Day of Surgery
Wear loose, comfortable clothing that is big enough to accommodate a large bandage after surgery. Wear comfortable shoes such as slip-on, no high heels.
You will need to change into a surgical gown.
Do not wear any jewelry (including body piercing), makeup or cologne. Do not bring any valuables with you.
Bring your driver’s license and all insurance cards with you. If your insurance company requires a co-pay, please bring some form of payment.
Wearing contact lenses is NOT advised. We provide containers for removable dentures and bridgework.
If your child is having surgery, feel free to bring a favorite stuffed animal or security blanket for added assurance.
Outside the surgery center entrance is a drop-off/pick-up area for the patient’s convenience. This will allow easy access to the reception area. Our staff will provide a private area to change clothes and prepare for surgery.
I feel like I had the constant attention of the nursing staff for my entire visit compared to a large hospital OR setting where several patients must be attended to once time. I prefer not to return for another joint replacement. But if I do, MI Specialty would be my first choice!
