As Humber River Hospital begins to resume scheduled surgery, it is important to do so while keeping everyone safe from COVID-19.  Added precautions have been put in place:

  • If you have a scheduled surgery coming up with Dr. Cayen, you will be asked to obtain a COVID-19 test at the pre-admission clinic 3 days prior to your surgery.
  • After you have your COVID-19 test 3 days before surgery, you are asked to self-isolate until you have your surgery
  • If you have symptoms of cough, fever, shortness of breath or other respiratory symptoms before your surgery, please let Dr. Cayen’s office know.  We will need to delay your surgery until after you recover.
  • If you test positive for COVID-19, please let Dr. Cayen’s office know.  We will need to delay your surgery until after you recover.
