When your surgery day arrives, here’s a general idea of what happens and when. Whether you have outpatient surgery in an OR at Beaufort Memorial Hospital or a same-day procedure at the Beaufort Memorial Surgery Center, expect professional, patient-focused care.
The anesthesia care team has an important role in your surgery. Your anesthesiologist is a specialized physician with the extensive clinical training needed to effectively evaluate your medical condition, recommend an appropriate anesthesia plan, diagnose and treat problems that can surface during surgery, and follow up after your surgery. Find an anesthesiologist.
As a patient, you have the right to respectful and considerate care. In addition, there are specific rights and responsibilities you have during your visit.
