If you are not feeling well post-surgery, please reach out to us first. Majority of the time nursing can triage and advise on common symptoms that may occur after surgery.
A same day appointment may be available:
Monday-Friday 8am-5pm
Emergency room visits usually result in long wait times. If you call us first, our team can determine if an emergency room visit is needed. If a simple clinic visit is needed, we can try to fit you in for an office visit with our surgeon or get you in for a nurse visit.
All symptom calls to Salish Specialty Services will go through our nurse triage line during normal business hours (8:00-5:00) Monday through Friday. Any calls after those hours will be forwarded to our answering service and later transferred to our on call provider.
For post-surgical patients, please give our office a call if you are experiencing symptoms:
DRAIN CARE
If you have any concerns with your drains, please give our office a call. Many drain issues are not an emergency situation.
For any life-threatening events such as chest pain, stroke or uncontrolled bleeding- Please call 911
Uncontrolled bleeding is defined as completely saturating your dressing every 15-30minutes.
If you do decide to go to the emergency room, please notify our office so that our team may track your progress.
