Getting Started
To begin, you will need to arrange for a phone or in-person consult with an orthopedic surgeon, spine surgeon, or physiatrist on the Hoag Orthopedic Institute medical staff. Your HOI surgeon will make certain that you meet reasonable medical criteria so you can safely travel for your elective orthopedic surgery.
The surgeon’s office staff and an HOI pre-admission coordinator will assist you every step of the way with preparations for your procedure. We will ask that a travel companion accompany you for your post-operative care. Travel patients usually stay in a local hotel. Although the average length of stay in the hospital is just one to three days, the average visit to Orange County is eight days.
HOI has worked with nearby hotels to secure reduced rates for travel patients and companions. Once you return home, you will need to receive follow-up care from your primary care physician or specialist and a physical therapist near you.
During your Visit
Taking a page from 5-star hotels, HOI has created a one-of-a-kind signature experience for all patients undergoing procedures at our facilities. Patients can expect to recover in a private room with an extensive amenity list which includes thoughtfully curated items such as a sleep mask, luxurious body lotion and robes. Spa-like music along with aromatherapy is available in a variety of scents to add to the calming environment.https://www.visitcalifornia.com/region/orange-county/
