How to prepare for your biopsy
Fasting is usually not required
However, there may be a need if sedation is required. Check with our team before coming for your biopsy.
It is a day procedure
Most biopsies can be done in an outpatient setting, so you do not need to stay overnight with us. After the procedure, our doctors may recommend that you rest in our recovery room for a few hours for observation.
Tell us your medical history
Tell us your full medical history, especially if you are taking any blood thinning medication and if you are diabetic. Also, inform us if you have any allergies to medication, bandages or dressings.
We are always here for you
Talk to one of our team if you have any concerns, questions or if you simply want to understand more about your procedure.
