Surgery Pre-Registration
Your physician’s office should call the Surgery Center to schedule your procedure and provide us with your insurance information. A member of our nursing Same Day Surgery staff will contact you to review your health history and provide preoperative instructions one or two days before your surgery date.
If you are not at available when the nurse telephones, please call the Surgery Center Monday through Friday between 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at (813) 757-8213. Please allow approximately 20 minutes to speak with the nurse on the phone.
Admission
To help streamline your admission on the day of your procedure, please arrive at least an hour and 15 minutes before your scheduled surgery time. For endoscopic procedures, please arrive one hour before your scheduled time.

After registration, you will be taken to a comfortable preoperative room where you will be prepared for surgery. While in surgery, family members may wait in the Surgical Waiting Room. Pagers will be assigned to your family or friends so physicians may follow up with them following the surgery.
