Medication Policy

It will be necessary to continue receiving prescriptions from your primary care physician or previous physician involved in your care.

Urine Nicotine Policy/Procedure

Some physicians require smoking cessation prior to undergoing spinal fusion surgery, as there is a direct correlation between smoking and failure for fusion to occur post operatively. Surgery will NOT be scheduled until a negative urine nicotine result is received in this office. Patients are required to stop smoking one month (30 days) following the decision to proceed with surgery. Patients must be off nicotine 14 days prior to submitting to the test.

A prescription will be provided with an appointment date and instructions to present to your local hospital for testing. Test results will be faxed to this office approximately 7-10 days post testing. Random testing will occur prior to the scheduled surgery date.
