Before Surgery

A nurse from the center will contact you prior to your surgery to review your health history, medications, and pre-operative instructions.

Notify your surgeon if there is a change in your physical condition such as a cold, fever or respiratory problems.

Do not eat or drink anything after midnight the night before your operation, including no hard candy, or cigarettes. If your child is the patient, please be careful to enforce this. Also, please follow any other special instructions your surgeon may have given you. Failure to follow these instructions may result in cancellation of your surgery.

Please be sure to tell your surgeon if you are on any type of blood thinners or aspirin. Please do not take any medications after midnight unless instructed by your surgeon or the nurse at our center.

It is extremely important to arrange for a responsible adult to drive you home and remain with you for the first 24 hours after surgery.

Patient Testimonial

Three weeks ago I had my hip replaced at this surgery center’s incredible team. The medical care was outstanding, but what I’ll remember most is how every person treated me.

From the moment I walked through the front door until I went home, I felt genuinely cared for. Everyone was skilled, professional, and remarkably kind. Surgery is naturally stressful, yet the warmth and compassion of the entire staff made me feel calm, safe, and supported every step of the way.

What impressed me most was that the kindness never felt scripted or performed. It simply seemed to be the way people treat one another there. While I was waiting, I noticed every other person and family receiving the same warmth and attention. It wasn’t something reserved for me—it was simply who they are.

I came alone that day, without family by my side, but I never felt alone. Every interaction reminded me that I mattered.

I expected excellent medical care, and I certainly received it. What I didn’t expect was to leave feeling so grateful for the compassion and humanity I experienced. My new hip has already changed my life, but I’ll never forget the people who made one of the most stressful days of my life feel so reassuring.

Thank you to Dr. Andreini, Joe, and every member of the team. You are doing something very special.
