What questions should I ask?

You may ask any questions you may have about your up coming  surgery.

What will happen at my appointment?

You will receive general information about the type of anaesthesia you will receive for your up coming surgery and discuss any concerns you may have about your anaesthesia.

What happens after my first visit?
