Surgical Readiness Instructions

A member of our staff will greet you while you remain in your vehicle to obtain your temperature and review a Covid-19 screening questionnaire PRIOR to entering the building. This is screening is for patients AND their escort.
Once your screening has been cleared, you will be instructed to proceed to park and check in for surgery inside suite 150.
