FAQ's

What should I bring with me?

On the day of your procedure, please bring the following:

Insurance card, photo ID, & copayment (if required)
List of current medications & allergies
Copy of your advance directive (if you have one)

Can I still take my medications?

You may take your prescribed medications with a small sip of water–unless instructed otherwise by your physician’s office.

What should I wear on the day of my procedure?

We recommend you dress in comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Wear a two-piece outfit with a short-sleeved shirt. You may want to bring a sweater or light jacket along with you. Wear comfortable and supportive footwear. Avoid heels or flip-flops. Many patients find it most comfortable to wear or bring socks. Do not wear bulky jewelry.

Can I wear perfume of scented lotion on the day of my procedure?

No. For the comfort and safety of our patients, The Albany Medical Center Digestive Disease Center is a fragrance-free facility. You and your driver should not wear perfumes, scented lotions or oils the day of your procedure.
