What to Expect as a Surgical Patient
At our clinic, we design the patient journey to provide a connected, compassionate experience. Here’s what a typical day looks like for our surgical patients:
Warm Welcome
You’ll be greeted warmly by our reception staff upon arrival. They’ll guide you through the check-in process and ensure you're comfortable.
Pre-Surgery Preparation
Our nursing team will complete pre-surgery protocols, including finalising paperwork and preparing you for your procedure. They’ll also make sure you’re relaxed and informed.
Meeting Your Surgeon
Before the surgery, your surgeon will go over the procedure again, ensuring all your concerns are addressed.
The Procedure
Your surgery will be performed in our state-of-the-art operating facilities using advanced technology to maximise precision and safety. For your comfort, most procedures are conducted under local anesthesia.

After your procedure, our recovery team will monitor you closely to ensure everything is on track. Before you leave, we’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions and set your follow-up appointment.
