Surgical Services
Skilled, Compassionate and Pro-active Patient Care.
Cortland Regional Medical Center focuses on delivering high-quality healthcare. CRMC has an extensively trained and dedicated Perioperative staff that provides a wide range of outpatient procedures and surgeries.
Surgeries/Procedures can involve diagnosing a disease (breast biopsy), treating an injury (broken ankle), mending a condition (cataract removal), or preventing illness through early detection (colon cancer).
Attentive Patient Care from Preadmission to Discharge
Prior to surgeries/procedures at CRMC, patients undergo a Preadmission Testing (PATs) process. Patients will meet with Perioperative staff face-to-face. Necessary blood work or other tests may be done during this visit. An introduction to the Unit will help the patient get comfortable with their surroundings.
After the surgery/procedure, the patient is closely monitored in preparation for discharge or admission.
Access to Expert Medical Professionals and the Latest Surgical Advancements
Many Perioperative staff members seek out new procedures and equipment, in order to provide the latest and improved treatment for our patients and our community. The Surgical staff constantly undergoes training in the latest surgical technology.
A Patient’s Loved Ones are a Top Priority
Our Perioperative staff at CRMC appreciates how a patient’s family and friends can be apprehensive as their loved one undergoes surgery or a procedure. At CRMC we assign a volunteer to keep the patient’s loved ones informed of the patient’s status while they wait in the Surgical/Procedure waiting area.
