What to do in Southern California
As you can imagine, Southern California is blessed to have so many things to do during your stay. Even though the primary focus of your trip is to have world class surgery by Dr. Cruise, we want to make sure you and your family/friends have a good time. For this reason we have listed some of the highlights that other patients have enjoyed during their stay. We are constantly getting feed back so this list changes often.
We have organized the list in 3 main categories depending on your healing time
after surgery so that you will know what you can do and when most confortably.
Activites and Sites Depending on Healing Time
SEDENTARY~For the days right after sugery when it is best for you to stay in bed.
Just in case you dont like anything on your room service menu, feel free 
to call Restaurants on the Run and order from an array of wonderful local restaurants and have the food delievered right to your hotel room: www.rotr.com
Would you like a manicure or pedicure or maybe just a relaxing facial 
after a body procedure or a mini massage after a facial procedure? You can have The Pampered Self, a mobile spa service, come directly to your room: www.pamperedmobilespa.com
If your loved ones have traveled with you, and you are wanting some peace 
and quiet to recover in, send them to see a magical festival of shows, parades, and attractions at Southern California’s Disneyland.
DRIVING~For when you are up and around, but not quite ready for much walking activity, we suggest getting out and driving around to see the beautiful sights that the orange county coast has to offer.
