Life After Surgery
Our care doesn’t end when you leave the operating room. We’re there through recovery and beyond to help you make the most of your new life. Many aspects of your health will improve after surgery, but it doesn’t happen without commitment. It is important to be committed to following a new and improved post-operative lifestyle, including being proactive in dealing with potential risks and discomforts associated with surgery.
