Discharge Instructions

The instructions you will go home with, available in advance so nothing comes as a surprise.

Going Home

Knowing What Comes Next

Surgery carries a natural amount of apprehension, and our practice works to keep that to a minimum. Every patient receives a printed instruction folder on the day of the procedure, and the same postoperative instructions are posted here so they can be read well beforehand rather than for the first time on the way home.

Dr. Kunze and his team remain available throughout the entire recovery period to offer guidance, answer questions as they come up, and respond to any concern you have along the way.
