Before Your Surgery
Prior to your surgery date, expect a call from one of our skilled registered nurses. They will discuss your medical history, provide preoperative instructions, and address any questions or concerns you may have. Please ensure to provide us with your most reliable contact number for seamless communication.
For your safety, driving a motor vehicle after surgery is not permitted. We kindly ask that you arrange for a responsible adult to provide transportation to and from our facility on the day of your surgery.
If you require assistance between your vehicle and our facility, please call our main line at (808)237-2970. A member of our team can meet you at your vehicle with a wheelchair. There is a loading zone on Pohukaina Street for drop-offs and pickups.
If you have a copayment, a member of our office staff will contact you before your procedure to provide notification. You can choose to make the payment over the phone or at the time of check-in for your convenience.

Postoperative care instructions will be provided and reviewed with you and your ride home, facilitating a smooth transition to recovery.
The day after your procedure, one of our nurses will reach out to check on your recovery progress. Additionally, you can expect to receive an online survey via email, allowing you to provide valuable feedback on your experience with us.
