How long will my procedure take?
Typically, on average, your procedure should take about 30 minutes. We ask, kindly, that you please keep in mind that every patient is different and that some may take longer than others.
Do I have to have a driver?
Since you will be given sedation, you absolutely must have a driver. You will not be permitted to drive, and you should not make important financial or legal decisions up to 24 hours after your procedure. No buses, taxis, or rideshares are allowed unless you are accompanied by a responsible adult. Medical transport is permitted. If you prefer, you can forego the sedation during your procedure and will be allowed to drive yourself.
Is the procedure painful?
Since you will be receiving sedation you should only experience slight and minimal discomfort during your procedure.
What happens if I can not make it to my procedure?
If you are unable to make to your procedure, for any reason, please call and let us know at least 24 hours in advance so that we may reschedule you. Please keep in mind that if you cancel more than three times we will have to send your referral back to your primary care/ordering physician(s).
What if I don’t finish my prep?
If you are not able to finish your prep then you will not be allowed to have the procedure done. It is very important that you take the prep as directed. Any deviation from the guidelines could very well result in an incomplete procedure and rescheduling.
