All patients will need an up-to-date medical history and physical form. Some may need blood tests, EKG or x-rays. These services will be available preoperatively at the Surgical Center. Your surgeon will advise where you will have this done.
Some families may elect to bring their children for a preoperative tour of Blackstone Valley Surgicare.
Please notify the surgeon and the Blackstone Valley Surgicare at 401-243-0022 as early as possible if you cannot make your scheduled appointment. Early notification can help us better accommodate you and other patients.
You are welcome to bring one person with you to the Center. When a patient is a child often two parents and/or guardians will accompany him or her to the Center. We will do our best to accommodate everyone, however, one parent and/or guardian will be permitted into the recovery room at a time.
This will not affect most surgical procedures. There are a few specific gynecological procedures which may be impacted by menstruation. Call us if you have any questions at 401-243-0022.
