Is there anything else we should know about this evolving process? So for cases like a cyst when we can’t schedule you in the office that day–though most likely you will be scheduled-we’ll tell you “We have you on standby, be ready.” For the more serious procedures like cancer, they will absolutely leave with a date no matter what. We don’t want to promise you something and then have to cancel or delay your procedure. Generally, you should expect to leave your appointment with a surgery date, only in some cases has the process changed. We hope for no disruptions to care, but ask that you be patient with us. Please call your doctor’s office directly for additional information related to your procedure or upcoming surgery date. Appointments and Scheduling For those who need in-patient surgery but it isn’t as urgent, say a cyst, when can they expect to be scheduled?Īs of right now, we’re scheduling procedures but have a slightly reduced OR capacity. We interviewed Francine Castillo, Director of Practice Operations, to discuss everything you need to know about appointments, surgery, Covid-19 testing, and vaccination. Or send us a direct message on Facebook or Twitter with any general questions. Have a question? Give your doctor’s office a call. Please don’t hesitate to get the care you need when you need it. Just as we have been throughout this entire pandemic, we are ready to take care of you. This interview was updated on September 9th, 2022 to include the latest information regarding COVID testing.Ĭovid safety remains a priority in the hospital, as does our transparency while we mitigate the arrival of new strains.
