YOU MUST MAKE ARRANGEMENTS IN ADVANCE for a friend or family member to drive you home after your discharge. Under no circumstances will you be allowed to operate a motor vehicle if you have received sedation or
general anesthesia.
Recovery generally lasts a few hours. When you are ready, you and your family may use our private patient exit with
drive-up area.
Remember, you will not be allowed to drive yourself home after your surgery. Please plan to have someone drive you to and
from the center.
