Preparing For Your Visit

Knowledge of what’s to come is perhaps the best way to prepare for your visit to Aspen Mountain Medical Center. 

Our staff will provide the insight and instruction you need to become an active contributor in your own recovery and are happy to answer your questions about next steps and best options.

Surgical Patients

Please arrive at the facility one hour before your scheduled procedure start time. 

At least two days before your procedure, your referring physician will let you know if there are any pre-surgery instructions to follow. These may include special directions for washing the night before, or how to prepare yourself the day of.

We ask that you follow all physician instructions closely; not doing so could lead to your procedure being rescheduled.

Lab and Imaging Patients

Please arrive at the facility 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment time. For walk-in patients, please verify whether pre-certification is required for testing. 

The day before or the day of your appointment, your physician will let you know if there are any special preparations or dietary instructions to consider.

We ask that you follow all physician instructions closely; not doing so could lead to your appointment being rescheduled.


Pre- and Post-Op: What to Expect 

Pre-Op

Here’s what to expect in the days leading up to your procedure, as well as on the day of:

  • Before your procedure, a representative of Aspen Mountain Medical Center will call to confirm your appointment time and take note of your current medications, allergies and any medical conditions.
  • One of our nurses will let you know what time you should stop eating and drinking before your procedure. Keep in mind that failure to comply with these instructions may result in your procedure being rescheduled.
  • If you currently take any prescription or over-the-counter medications, check with your physician on whether you should take them the day of surgery.
  • Be mindful of your health the week before your surgery. If you note any changes, such as a fever, cold or other ailments, let your physician know right away, as your procedure may need to be rescheduled.
  • Female patients should notify our facility staff if they suspect they may be pregnant.

Post-Op

On the day of surgery:

  • Unless otherwise instructed, bathe normally on the morning of your surgery, and wash and dry your hair. Do not use any kind of styling product, make-up, lotion, perfume or nail polish.
  • Do not wear or bring with you any items of high value, including rings, watches or other jewelry.
  • If you wear any type of prosthesis, including contacts or dentures, bring a case in which to store them during surgery, as you will have to remove them.
  • Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that you can change easily into and out of. When you arrive at the hospital, you will change into the provided gown and slippers.
  • Please arrive promptly, as instructed, to allow for all admissions procedures, medical history review and questions you may have.
