Preparing for Outpatient Surgery

Before Your Procedure

Pre-register 24-48 hours before your procedure at Sierra View Medical Center. Bring a picture ID, insurance cards, and any paperwork from your physician’s office. If required, lab tests such as a COVID-19 test, blood work, urine test, or EKG will be completed during registration.

A liaison nurse will call the day before to confirm your arrival time, review your medical history, and provide instructions.

On the Day of Your Procedure

Arrive at the SVMC Ambulatory Surgery Center. Plan to be at the facility for three to four hours, including pre-op, procedure, and recovery time.

What to Bring

• Medications or a complete list, including prescriptions, over-the-counter items, vitamins, and supplements.
• Proof of COVID-19 vaccination (if applicable).
• Transportation Requirements
• You must have a responsible adult to pick you up and assist for the first 24 hours after discharge. Before the procedure, provide the nurse with your driver’s name and phone number.

If You Feel Unwell

If you have fever, chills, or body aches, do not enter the facility. Call (559) 791-3779 or contact your primary care provider.
