When to contact your care team
Our center accepts most major insurance plans. Coverage details, copayments, and estimated costs are reviewed before surgery. Our billing team is available to answer questions and provide clear explanations.
In compliance with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), OSD Surgery Center provides the following state-mandated notices for our patients and visitors.
House Bill 4224 (89th Regular Session), effective September 1, 2025, requires health care providers, pursuant to Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 181, to prominently post clear instructions for consumers on how to request access to their health care records from the provider, how to contact Health Care Regulation (HCR) as listed on the HCR Contact Us webpage, and how to file a consumer complaint through the Office of the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection webpage.
Patients should arrive at least one hour before their scheduled procedure. This allows time for check-in, paperwork, pre-operative assessments, and any final instructions from the care team. Arriving early helps ensure that your surgery begins on time.
Most patients must stop eating and drinking after midnight the night before surgery. Your care team will give specific instructions based on your procedure and medical history. Following these guidelines is important for safe anesthesia.
No. Patients are not allowed to drive after receiving anesthesia. You must arrange for a responsible adult to take you home. This protects your safety during recovery and is required for all outpatient surgeries.
Recovery time depends on the type of procedure and your overall health. Many patients begin to feel better within a few hours. Others may need several days. Your surgeon will give you detailed recovery instructions and explain what to expect.
A member of our clinical team will call you after surgery to check on your recovery. They will review your post-operative instructions, answer questions, and confirm your follow-up appointment if needed.
