When and how are my stitches/staples removed?
This is individual to the case and patient. Consult the post operative instructions given to you at discharge or contact your physician for details.

What if my wound opens up?
Small openings in the skin are common and do not necessarily indicate an infection. If you are not sure, please contact your physician.

How do I know if my wound is infected?
Some drainage from the wound is common and does not necessarily indicate an infection. Some signs of an infection include increasing redness, fever, and/or increased pain. If you are not sure, please contact your physician.

Prescription Refills
Please contact your physician’s nurse during regular business hours. Prescription refill requests after 4PM may not be processed until the following business day. Due to legal constraints, we cannot refill pain medications after hours.
