Hyde Park Surgery Center

Questions

Q: What time do I have to arrive for my surgery and what time will my surgery start?

A: One of the nurses will call you the day before your surgery and tell you what time to arrive. This is usually one hour before your surgery is scheduled.

Please be advised, surgery schedules are not an exact science!

Q: Does my payment estimate that I’ve gotten from my surgeon include the payment for Hyde Park Surgery Center?

A: No. Your surgeon may require a payment that is separate from Hyde Park Surgery Center.

Q: What do I do if the preop nurse hasn’t called me?

A: We make every effort to contact you the day before your surgery; however, in the event we cannot get a hold of you, call the center yourself before 5pm. Their number is 512.420.0701

Q: Can I drive myself home after my procedure?

A: No. You must be driven home and accompanied by an adult for the first 24 hours.

Q: Can I drink black coffee the morning of my surgery?

A: No. You can have nothing by mouth at all 8 hours before your surgery. If you mistakenly eat or drink before your surgery, your surgery will be re-scheduled.
