SURGICAL LOCATION

Typically, your surgery will take place at Arizona Spine and Joint Hospital. It is a wonderful place with an entire staff
and team that is not only friendly, but extremely well trained in helping you with your joint replacement. You will meet
your nursing staff as well as anesthesiologist on the day of surgery. You may receive a regional nerve block injection
before surgery to help with pain afterwards. You are put completely asleep and most surgeries are done with spinal
anesthesia which has been shown to be the safest as you to breathe on your own during the procedure. You will wake
up in the recovery area, and our staff will give you something to eat and drink, help you to the bathroom, and get you
up walking with a walker.

MEDICATION PRESCRIPTIONS

Dr. Eccles will send your prescriptions to a local pharmacy just around the corner from Arizona Spine and Joint Hospital
about a week or so before surgery. This is called Sun Pharmacy and we’ve had great results with them. The reason for
not going through your regular pharmacy is because some won’t have certain medications in stock (and even may refuse
to order them!) that you will be prescribed. We want you to get the correct medications and in time. You don't need to
do anything right now. Sun Pharmacy will take care of the next steps. They will take your insurance and reach out to you
if any additional information is needed. If you do pick them up prior to your surgical day, do not take any medication
before your surgery. Sometimes it is easiest for your caregiver to pick up the day of surgery when you are in surgery. They
open at 9am and close at 5pm.
If you have any questions, you can contact
