A pre-operative evaluation’s main purpose is to identify and improve factors that increase pre-operative morbidity and mortality. We provide a complete surgical clearance which includes:
An evaluation with our physician
Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG)
X-rays
Lab work
You can book an appointment to get all the tests and work you need to do in one day at our facility. Results usually take 24-48 hours, depending on the test requested. Results are then sent to your physician for further evaluation and next steps.
Same-day comprehensive evaluations available
Experienced and compassionate medical professionals
Clear, timely communication with your surgical team
Convenient scheduling and fast turnaround on results
This exam includes several steps so our medical professional can see how your body is performing.
These factors help us evaluate your overall health and surgical risk. As we age, the chances of having other medical conditions that can affect surgery increase, so it’s important for us to consider them when planning your care.
Yes. We’ll ask if you or your family members have had conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, blood clotting or bleeding disorders, lung issues (like asthma or emphysema), high or low blood pressure, liver or kidney disease, jaundice, thyroid problems, arthritis, or gastrointestinal issues. This helps us identify any potential risks before surgery.
Absolutely. Please let us know about any medications you’re currently taking — including over-the-counter drugs and steroids — as well as any allergies to food or medication. This information is vital to prevent complications during your procedure.
If you’ve had surgery before, especially with complications or reactions to anesthesia, we need to know so we can plan the safest possible approach for you this time.
Yes. We’ll discuss your current exercise routine, mobility level, smoking, and alcohol use. These habits can affect how your body responds to surgery and how well you recover.
If you’re pregnant or think you might be, it’s important to tell us. Pregnancy can significantly change your surgical risk and may require delaying or modifying the procedure.
