Post-op Nursing came about in 2018 when June realized there was a need for personalized care for patients immediately after any elective procedure. In the beginning, we focused on mainly cosmetic surgery patients and realized that this can carry on to bariatric, orthopedic and a host of other procedures that require any form of anesthesia. We care for you or your loved one in the privacy of your home and spend the first night with them to make sure they understand their post -op care. We help with teaching patients and loved ones on how to care for drains and how to optimize medications to prevent or minimize pain and discomfort.
At Post-Op Nursing, we care about our patients and are here to make life easier for you. Basically, from the recovery area we meet with you and your doctor to go over discharge instructions and then we bring or meet you at home and care for you through the rest of that first day until morning. We return once in the afternoon on day 2 and afterwards as warranted.
Our certified practitioners work tirelessly at improving the quality of life for each and every one of our patients and their families.
