DR. CHARLES LEE: When patients arrive at the hospital, once they are checked in through the appropriate preoperative clinics, they will meet their anesthesiologist who will thoroughly review their chart, answer any questions that they may have about their procedure and their anesthetic plan.  And once Dr. Lintner has met with a patient and done the appropriate preoperative workup, the patient will be offered a sedative, if necessary, to alleviate any discomfort or anxiety that they may have about their procedure.

Unlike outpatient surgical centers and office-based operating rooms, which may be limited by space and personnel, having your procedure done at the hospital affords you personal nursing care in the recovery room as well as a timely discharge.

We at Kennestone will never discharge a patient just to create another spot for the next patient.  Your discharge will only occur when Dr. Lintner, your anesthesiologist and yourself are ready to go home.
