Patients generally stay 30-60 minutes in the recovery room before they can leave for home. The recovery room is a fully-outfitted hospital room with a fully-trained recovery nurse monitoring your vitals. We will ensure that you are in a healthy place before releasing you to go home. You will not be permitted to leave without a friend or family member (must be 18 or older) present to drive you home and stay with you for the first 24 hours.
