How To Prepare For Surgery

Preparing for Your Surgery/Procedure

1. Schedule your pre-operative COVID-19 test, as indicated above. Your surgery/procedure will be rescheduled if the Center does not receive your negative test result prior to your arrival.
2. Schedule your preoperative clearance appointment as indicated above. Please note: if you are 70 years old or have a history of heart problems, an EKG must be performed.
3. From now until the date of your preoperative COVID-19 test, follow social distancing guidelines, minimize interactions, wash/sanitize your hands frequently and wear a face mask or cloth covering in public places. AFTER your preoperative COVID-19 test, you are expected to self-isolate. Monitor your health closely and call us if you experience any changes.
4. Arrange for a driver on your scheduled surgery/procedure day. Patient arrival times are not finalized until 48 hours prior to your date-of-service and are subject to change, so please arrange for a driver with flexibility.
5. Complete your online patient registration as soon as possible. This process will take approximately 20 minutes. Have your insurance information and a list of your home medications available when you complete it.
6. You will receive a text from Wilton Surgery Center. Texting is a great way to receive communication about your appointment. If you would prefer NOT to use our texting service, you will be given the option to opt out.
7. If you do not text, or are unable to register online, please call us at your convenience. We will assist you with your registration and review important preoperative information.
8. As part of our commitment to your safety, all payment transactions for patient financial responsibilities must be completed prior to your surgery/procedure date. You will receive a phone call from our Business Office to process your payment if monies are owed. If you have questions regarding your financial responsibility please call us at (203) 563-9470 ext. 133 or ext. 134.
