After Care
Recovering from surgery may require particular professional attention and care, especially during the immediate 24 to 48 hours following your discharge from the operating room. Dr. Fisher will advise you if such professional care is necessary. For many patients returning home with family members or significant others is a viable option.
For those who require a more personalized level of post-operative care several options exist.
Private Duty Nursing
Dr. Fisher maintains a selective group of especially trained nurses who are available to accompany patients to their homes or hotels. Such personalized care can be arranged through the office at the time surgery is booked.
