Procedure Prep Information:
If you are scheduled for any minimally invasive procedure/injection you may be asked to hold blood thinners and/or aspirin products 5 days before the procedure date.
Some procedures do require you to have a driver and arrive fasting/NPO after midnight.
If you have been asked to hold blood thinners or aspirin 5 days prior to the procedure please DO NOT discontinue any other medications; for example blood pressure medication.
