Arrival at Surgicare of South Austin

From the moment you arrive at Surgicare of South Austin, your comfort and care are our primary concern.  You will be asked to arrive 90 minutes before your scheduled surgery start time. This ensures adequate time for preparation for surgery. Before surgery, you will change into a gown.  Your blood pressure and temperature will be taken and an anesthesiologist will evaluate you.  You will also have an opportunity to ask questions.  At the appropriate time, a nurse or anesthesiologist will escort you to the operating room.  After surgery, we’ll let your family member or companion know when it is time to see you in the Post-Anesthesia Care area.  If your visitor leaves at any time, he or she must leave a phone number and be capable of being reached when you are ready to be discharged.
