Southwest Surgical Center
What to Expect
Pre-Admission Phone Call and Nurse Assessment
You will receive a phone call from a nurse five to seven days before your scheduled procedure. We gather as much information as possible in advance to make the day of your procedure less stressful. The call also aids our employees in being fully prepared to care for you. If you would prefer to contact the nurse directly, please call 616-685-3975, Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm, and ask for the phone nurse.
Pre-Admission Testing
Your surgeon or anesthesiologist may want you to have lab work or tests performed before the day of surgery. Please complete all tests at least one week before your scheduled procedure. That way, we’ll have all the information we need the day you arrive.
