Getting the Most From Your Surgical Care
A one-on-one consultation with Dr. Shakir helps you understand your condition and the planned procedure. He reviews your medical history and test results, explains your options, and answers your questions before any decision is made.
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) uses planning before, during and after an operation to help you recover and return to daily life sooner.
Pain Management
Some pain after surgery is expected, and it varies from person to person. Our team plans pain control with you to keep you as comfortable as possible while you recover.
Pre-operative Care
Pre-operative care covers the evaluation, tests and instructions that prepare you for a safe operation, such as which medicines to stop and when to stop eating.
Post-operative Care
After surgery, we guide you through wound care, activity, diet and follow-up visits so you can return to normal activities as safely as possible.
Patient Care Financial Forms
Making financial arrangements for your medical care can be daunting for those without insurance coverage. The business office personnel at Surgical Associates of Southern Texas can assist you with making a payment plan or other financial arrangements.
