Please do not drive yourself to the hospital, as it is not advisable for you to drive for at least 24 hours following surgery of any kind. When you arrive, enter through the Admitting/Registration entrance to check-in. When you are checked in, a family member or friend may accompany you to Ambulatory Care Services or go directly to the waiting room. If your family member or friend must leave the hospital, please have them notify the nurse of a phone number at which they can be reached. Please arrive promptly at your scheduled time.
