Surgery Patients

Your doctor will discuss your surgery with you and will ask you to read and sign a surgical authorization and consent form stating that you understand what is to be done and agree to have it done. For most surgery, you will be asked to remove glasses, dentures, wigs, hearing aids, prostheses, leg braces, jewelry and underclothes. An anesthesiologist will see you before your surgery to briefly discuss your particular anesthesia needs during surgery. Please ask your doctor, your anesthesiologist or your nurse if you

your case will be conducted discreetly and only with those involved directly with your case.

To expect that your medical records shall be read only by your medical caregivers or those monitoring quality. Others need your written authorization to access your records.
