A Modern Surgical Setting for Spine Care

North PKWY Surgical Institute is designed to support a smooth, organized surgical experience for spine patients. From check-in to discharge, the environment emphasizes clear communication, efficient care flow, and patient comfort at every stage.

Specialized surgical suites and an experienced clinical team help create a setting where patients know what to expect and feel supported throughout their time at the center.

What to Expect on the Day of Your Spine Procedure

On the day of your procedure, you will be greeted by the surgery center team and guided through a smooth check-in process. Staff will confirm your personal, insurance, and contact information and review any remaining pre-procedure requirements.

Before surgery, you will meet with your surgical care team to review your procedure and address any last-minute questions. Many patients find it helpful to write down questions ahead of time to ensure all concerns are discussed.

Preparing for Spine Surgery

Prior to surgery, you will receive specific instructions based on the type of spine procedure you are undergoing. Following these instructions carefully is important for your safety and for keeping your procedure on schedule.

Failure to follow pre-operative instructions may result in postponement or cancellation of your procedure.
General preparation guidelines may include:
  • Being honest and thorough when discussing medications, supplements, nicotine use, and recent food or drink intake
  • Arranging for a trusted adult to accompany you and provide transportation home if anesthesia or sedation is used
  • Leaving jewelry and valuables at home on the day of surgery
  • Adhering to all fasting or medication-related instructions provided by your care team

Discharge & Recovery

After your procedure, you will be monitored by the clinical team as you begin recovery. Discharge timing is determined by your surgeon based on your procedure and individual recovery needs.

Before leaving North PKWY Surgical Institute, a member of the care team will review your post-procedure instructions, including activity guidelines, medications, follow-up appointments, and who to contact with questions or concerns. Patients are encouraged to follow all aftercare instructions carefully and attend any scheduled follow-up visits.

In the event of an emergency, patients should always call 911.
