After Discharge

You will receive specific instructions from your doctor regarding your care after discharge from Robinwood Surgery Center.  For your comfort and safety, we remind you of the following:

• Have someone stay with you for the first 24 hours following surgery.
• Do not drive, operate machinery or power tools, drink alcoholic beverages, or take any medications not prescribed by your doctor for at least 24 hours following surgery.
• Take it easy until your physician says you can return to your normal routine.
• Follow your physician's instructions regarding diet, rest and medication.
• It is natural to experience some discomfort at the site of your surgery.
• Contact your physician if you feel you are having any problems after discharge.  If you have a medical emergency and are unable to reach your doctor, call 911.

You will be asked to complete a questionaire on the care you received during your stay.  Your comments are very important to us and will help us improve our services.  Our mission is to provide the finest outpatient surgical care for the regionwe serve.

A member of our staff will call you the next business day to check on your progress.  Upon discharge from our center, you will be asked to provide us with a contact number for where you can be reached on the next business day.
