6650 building at Kaiser Sand Canyon is the Medical Office Building 2, or MOB2 for short, next to the hospital. Second floor of MOB2 is its surgical center and the reason I am here today. It has its own reception area, separately from the member service lobby on the first floor. My official check in time is 5:30am but they are open at 5:15am.
Things started pretty quickly after I was admitted. They were nurses assigned to each bed in each areas like pre-ops, OR, recovery 1 & 2, and discharge. My wife signed up to receive text on my progress so she probably had better idea when I moved from one area to the next.
It may not be a place you choose to visit but overall it was not a bad experience given the circumstances. Nurses were gentle and pleasant. And the process is rather streamlined. I hope I won't have to visit the surgical center again anytime soon. read more
