Patient Information

What to Expect at Your First Visit

Office and telemedicine appointments for both new and returning patients may include a full evaluation, discussion of new and existing problems, in-office injections, consultation with physical therapy, and discussions regarding medication.

If you are coming to the Ambulatory Surgery Center, make sure to verify 7-days in advance with your nurse what medications you need to stop before your procedure. You will need someone to drive you home, and in some cases, someone will need to remain in the office during your procedure. See our Patient Instructions page for complete information, including instructions for Nerve Block patients who are on blood thinners.
