WHEN YOU VISIT
You will be welcomed by the TCC staff who will meet with you for registration. Shortly thereafter, you will be escorted to the pre-op area by a registered nurse who will be caring for you prior to your procedure. You will be evaluated by an anesthesiologist and brought into the endoscopy suite. Your physician will speak with you briefly prior to receiving sedation. After the procedure is completed, you will be brought to the post-operative area and monitored closely while you recover from the sedation. Once fully awake and stable, your doctor will speak with you and your driver to review the results of the findings. You will be provided with specific instructions prior to being discharged.
- Your stay will last approximately 2 hours.
- Your driver must remain in the waiting area during the length of your stay.
- Please bring your insurance card and driver’s license (or photo ID).
- You will not be asked to pay for any fees (copay, deductible, etc.) during this visit.
- Your referring physician will receive a report via fax immediately following your procedure.
- You will be provided with detailed instructions at the time of discharge.
