Our staff is currently contacting patients whose surgeries were postponed, prioritizing cases based on clinical need. They will work with you to reschedule your surgery appointment and provide you with additional instructions. If you have questions, call your doctor’s office for the latest updates.
We are taking added precautions for our surgery patients, including testing for COVID-19. As part of your work-up before your procedure, we will test you for COVID-19. In the days leading up to your procedure, our COVID Test Scheduling Office will call you.
If you have any transportation or mobility issues that prevent you from keeping your testing appointment, please call your surgeon’s office. Once you receive your scheduled procedure date, continue to observe strict social isolation. Remember to wash your hands frequently. If you go out in public, wear a mask, and keep 6 feet away from others.
Don’t forgo critical care. We have steps in place to reduce risk of infection for your safety. You put yourself at greater risk of serious medical complications if you don’t seek care during an emergency. Ignoring symptoms of serious disease, such as stroke or heart attack, is a far more deadly choice. Chest pains, slurred speech and seizure are life-threatening symptoms. Call 9-1-1 immediately or go directly to the emergency department. Our emergency departments are fully staffed and ready to take care of you while keeping you safe.
