You will arrive at our office in Statesboro, Georgia, U.S.A. at 8:30 am. (If you have made prior arrangements with our staff you will be picked up at your hotel for transfer to our office.)

A nurse will interview you in a private room and record your vital signs.

Our Office Manager will meet with you to answer any questions that you may have concerning insurance and billing.

You will then meet with your doctor at which time a complete and thorough history and physical will be performed.

You will then be escorted to our fully accredited Ultrasound Department where a sonogram will be performed. 

The sonogram results will be discussed with you by your doctor within one hour. Depending upon these results a treatment plan will be decided upon by you and your doctor. Everything about the treatment plan will be explained to you in detail and a consent form will be signed. You will be scheduled for the safest, least invasive, and most effective procedure to be performed that afternoon.

You will then be escorted to the nearby lab for the appropriate lab work to be drawn.

In the afternoon you will be escorted to The Women's Surgery Center pre-op area where you will be prepared for surgery. An I.V. will be placed. 

Your nurse anesthetist will introduce himself and interview you at this time.

Your doctor will see you in the pre-op area to again discuss the planned procedure and to answer any questions that you might have.

You will then be brought to the operating room and anesthesia administered. 

The procedure may take anywhere from 45 minutes to two hours. Your doctor will be very thorough in documenting the cause of your pain and eliminating any endometriosis, cysts, or adhesions. When you are having surgery performed in The Women's Surgery Center you have the full attention of the entire staff. You will be the only one being operated on in The Center at that time.

After surgery you will be brought to the post-op area for recovery. You will have your own fully trained recovery room nurse (R.N.) to care for you at this time.

When you are fully recovered your doctor will review the procedure with you and give you the appropriate post-operative instructions.

After being discharged, your recovery room nurse will call you that evening at home or at your hotel to check on you. You will also be given the direct phone number to contact your on-call nurse in case you have any problems after leaving.

Your doctor will call you within two weeks to check on you and to discuss the pathology report if any tissue was removed.

A complete record of your care by our specialists will be sent to your hometown doctor if you so request.
