Preparation for a Procedure
We, at Pain Management Physicians of South Florida, want to ensure your safety and comfort during your procedure experience. Therefore, we have a few policies to ensure your safety and comfort level.

Since you will be receiving light anesthesia, it is required that you do not eat or drink within the eight (8) hours before the procedure. For diabetic patients, certain accomodations will be made.

You may need to stop taking certain medications several days before the procedure. Please be sure to remind your doctor of all your prescriptions and over the counter medications that you are taking, including herbal and vitamin supplements. The doctor will then tell you if and when you will need to discontinue any of your medications.

It is also very important to tell the doctor if you have asthma, had an allergic reaction to injected dye to a previous radiology exam and/or if you have had an allergic reaction to shellfish. The doctor may prescribe medications for you to take before having your procedure. Notify the doctor if you develop a cold, fever or flu-like symptoms before your scheduled appointment.

You will require transportation. Prior to your arrival, please make transportation arrangements to and from our facility. You will NOT be allowed to drive after your procedure.

Please give our office at least 24 hours notice for any procedure cancellation. Leave your jewelry and valuables at home. If you wear glasses, please bring an eyeglass case to ensure protection of your glasses. If you use hearing aids, be sure to bring them to your appointment.

We thank you in advance for complying to these policies, as it allows us to continue seeing all of our patients in a timely manner.
