Who will be a part of my surgical care team?

Your care team may include experienced surgeons, nurses, anesthesiologists, lab technicians, medical social services, neurologists, nurse practitioners, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other specialists who work together to plan your care, perform your procedure and support your recovery.

How can I find the right surgeon at OhioHealth?

You can find the right surgeon or surgical specialist at OhioHealth by searching by specialty, condition, procedure or location. We make it easy to review provider profiles, learn about areas of expertise and choose care that fits your needs.

What can I expect before surgery at OhioHealth?

Before surgery, your care team will share instructions to help you get ready. This may include when to stop eating or drinking, what medicines to take and when to arrive. You can ask your doctor any questions before your procedure, and your team will explain what to expect. On the day of surgery, nurses and other care team members will guide you through each step and help you feel prepared.

What is the difference between inpatient and outpatient surgery?

Inpatient surgery means you stay in the hospital after your procedure. Outpatient surgery, also called same-day surgery, means you go home the same day. Your surgeon will recommend the right type of care based on your procedure, your health needs and the support you may need after surgery. Before your surgery, your OhioHealth care team will explain what to expect, where to go and how to prepare.
