Concern for your well-being is our first priority. These guidelines will aid in your safe and speedy recovery. If you have ANY questions not answered here, please call the office above, preferably during office hours so we may consult your office record. Please have your pharmacy telephone number available for the physician.

  • Notify your physician of any worsening pain, bleeding heavier than a period, or a temperature higher than 100.5°F. Please take your temperature if you think it is elevated; do not guess.
  • You may shower or bathe after 24 hours.
