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.

A pre-surgical clearance is a medical evaluation that confirms you are healthy enough for surgery and anesthesia. At Future Care it includes a physician exam, a review of your medical history and medications, lab work, and an electrocardiogram (EKG), all completed in one visit.
Yes. Future Care provides same-day, complete pre-surgical clearances, with the physician exam, lab work, and EKG done in a single appointment. You can book online, call, or walk in at any of our five locations.
Most surgeons require clearance to be completed within 30 days of your surgery date, and some tests such as blood work or an EKG must fall inside a set window. Confirm the timing your surgeon requires, then schedule so your clearance is still current on the day of your procedure.
Your clearance typically includes a physical exam, a review of your history and medications, blood work, and an EKG. We give you the completed clearance and test results to share with your surgeon and anesthesiologist before your procedure.
Bring a list of the medications you take, including over-the-counter drugs and steroids, plus any drug or food allergies, your personal and family medical history, and details of any past surgeries or reactions to anesthesia. If you are or might be pregnant, let us know, since some tests and medications are adjusted during pregnancy.
Future Care accepts most major insurance plans. Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your coverage, so contact the office with your insurance details before your visit and we will confirm what is covered.
Future Care has five locations, in Forest Hills (Queens), the Bronx, Brooklyn, Baldwin on Long Island, and Hackensack, New Jersey, so you can complete your clearance close to home.
