BEFORE YOUR SURGERY
Laboratory Tests:
We suggest that if any laboratory work, EKG, or x-rays are required, it be done with your primary physician. Any specific lab tests, if needed for your type of surgery, must be completed within ample time to be reviewed by our Anesthesia Department. Your surgical coordinator will inform you which tests are necessary. Some insurance companies require that your testing be done by your primary physician. Your surgeon, primary physician or anesthesiologist may order additional pre-operative lab tests to assist in screening and preparing you for surgery.
Pre-Operative Call:
A member of our staff will attempt to call you a few days prior to your surgery date in order to confirm your appointment, complete a pre-operative questionnaire, and answer any questions you may have. If we are unable to communicate with you, instructions will be sent to you via text. If you prefer that we do not text, please contact us at (973) 782-4202 and ask to speak with an admitting nurse directly.
If the patient is a child, please remember:
* One parent (or guardian) must remain in New Horizon Surgical Center while the child is at our facility,
* A parent (or guardian) must sign release permits for surgery if the child is under 18,
* Guardians must bring written proof of guardianship on the day of surgery; without this documentation, surgery will have to be rescheduled.
