General Information about Procedures
Princeton Surgical Associates requires an office visit before any procedures to assess whether the office setting is the appropriate place for your surgery. Not all patients are candidates for office surgery. Some patients will require an out-patient or hospital setting. Your surgeon will discuss this with you at your appointment. Some patients may be able to have their procedure on the day of their visit. Be aware that this is not always possible but we will make every effort to accommodate you if we can.
All office procedures in the office are done under local Anesthesia. We ask that you inform your doctor of all the medications you are taking at the time of your visit. Anticoagulants such as Plavix, Aspirin, and Coumadin are of particular important if you are having surgery.
IMPORTANT! DO NOT STOP any medications without first talking with a nurse or physician in our office.
