PREPARE FOR YOUR VISIT
Our goal is to make your hernia experience as easy and smooth as possible. This starts with preparation. Our team may be reaching out to you to help gather any relevant data prior to your visit.
POST-OP INSTRUCTIONS
A handout will also be provided to you the day of surgery but it is a great idea to preview these instructions so that you can come up with questions for the day of surgery.
