Surgical Procedures

General process for booking surgery:
You will meet with either Dr. Hubbard or Dr. Chiodo to sign a consent form for your surgery and discuss the risks and benefits of proceeding with the surgical procedure. Once you understand the risks and benefits, wish to proceed with the procedure, and have signed consent the booking process begins. You may be assigned a date for surgery at your visit or you may be placed on a waiting list. Before leaving the office please ensure you speak with the receptionist to obtain a “surgical package”. This will include further instructions for your day of surgery and also includes a form that needs to be completed by your family physician with regards to your medical history.

Depending upon your health status and the surgery, you may be required to attend a pre-op visit at the hospital and one or more pre-operative consultations (such as Anesthesia, Cardiology, Internal Medicine, etc…). These consultations ensure that you are fit and ready to undergo the surgery. Ask Drs Hubbard or Chiodo or the receptionist if this is required for you.

Specific times for procedures on the day of surgery are typically only determined a few days in advance. Ask the receptionist for details on how to obtain your time of surgery and when to arrive at the hospital on your day of surgery.
