You Don’t Have to Travel Far for High-Quality Surgery
Two Surgical Services
- Same-day surgery enables you to have your procedure and return home the same day to recover in the comfort of familiar surroundings. (You must be accompanied home by an adult)
- Morning admissions service enables you to arrive at the hospital the morning of your surgery and stay for one or more nights, as your doctor recommends.
What to Expect
Once you're scheduled for surgery, you can visit our pre-surgical admissions
office either by appointment or just drop in when we’re open. Our
staff will conduct any preoperative lab testing, go over pre-op instructions
with you, and answer any questions you may have.
Throughout the procedure and afterwards, we will make you as comfortable as possible. After surgery, we will give you a recovery plan, including instructions for rest, activity, medications, and diet.
Surgical services are provided by Carla Christ, MD; David Geiger, DO; and Julian Maendel, MD
