Know the identified role
Mafi's current team biography identifies Omar Chowdhry, D.O., M.Ed., as an anesthesiologist. Ask who will personally evaluate you, administer or supervise anesthesia, and monitor you for the proposed procedure.
A team biography does not specify the type of anesthesia for every operation. MedlinePlus recommends discussing options with the care team in light of the planned procedure and your health.
Bring your medical information
Tell the clinical team about health conditions, medicines, supplements, previous anesthesia experiences, and concerns. Ask which pre-operative assessment is needed and who gives individualized instructions on eating, drinking, and medication.
Do not substitute a general web checklist for those instructions. Questions about a possible medicine change or fasting should be answered by the professionals responsible for your own care.
Ask about the day and aftercare
Confirm where anesthesia will occur, how you will be observed afterward, when you may leave, and whether someone must accompany you. Ask what symptoms warrant contact after discharge and whom to call.
The official Mafi location page lists a distinct surgery center. Confirm the actual facility for your procedure and the identity of the responsible anesthesia professional in your own appointment plan.
Questions and answers
Does the team page tell me which anesthetic I will receive?
No. That choice depends on the procedure and assessment by your care team.
Should I alter medicines before the visit?
Ask the responsible clinician for instructions specific to you before changing any medicines or supplements.
