Depending on your anesthesia, you may be taken to a recovery suite or return directly to your private room to complete your recovery. Your family can meet with you here if you wish.

Recovery generally lasts a few hours, but LAKE TAHOE SURGERY CENTER is licensed for 23-hour care as needed. When you are ready, you and your family may use our private patient exit with drive-up area.

Remember, you will not be allowed to drive yourself home after your surgery. Please plan to have someone drive you to and from the Surgery Center.
