Your
primary care physician, or family practitioner, takes care of your
general health. He or she may perform your pre-op physical.
Surgeon
Your surgeon is the
doctor who performs the actual hernia repair surgery and is responsible
for your overall health during your hospital stay and following your
surgery.
Anesthesiologist
Your
anesthesiologist is the doctor who administers anesthesia during your
surgery, monitors your vital signs during and after your surgery, and
oversees your post-surgical pain control.
Nurses
Before and during your hospital visit, you will meet a number of nurses who will care for you.
Spiritual Care Team
The hospital
chaplains at Bon Secours Mary Immaculate are trained to meet your
spiritual needs, and those of your family, regardless of religious
