Post-surgical Assistance for Safety

Most surgical procedures require postoperative assistance. You will need a responsible adult to drive you home, to a friends or motel. You will also need someone to stay with you the first postoperative night. Usually this is provided by a friend or family member. However, when this is not desired or not possible, we will help you arrange for postoperative care. We can put you in contact with a nurse or other caretaker to come to your home, or you can go to their home. There is also an option to go to The Recovery Inn (Menlo Surgical Hospital), if more extensive hospital nursing care is needed.
