Why Pre-Op Clearance Matters

Before undergoing surgery, your surgeon needs to know that your body can safely handle the procedure and anesthesia. Pre-operative surgery clearance involves a comprehensive medical evaluation to identify any risks and ensure you're ready for surgery.

What's Included in Pre-Op Clearance?

Your pre-op exam includes a thorough review of your medical history, current medications, physical examination, vital signs assessment, and any necessary lab work, ECG, or imaging tests based on your age and health status.

Common Tests Required

Depending on the type of surgery and your health conditions, you may need blood work, chest X-rays, ECG, or specialized testing. Our team coordinates with your surgeon to ensure all requirements are met.

Managing Chronic Conditions

If you have diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, or other chronic conditions, we'll ensure they're well-controlled before surgery to reduce complications and support faster recovery.

Timeline for Clearance

Schedule your pre-op clearance at least 1-2 weeks before surgery to allow time for any additional testing or treatment adjustments that may be needed.

Coordinated Care

We work closely with your surgical team to provide complete documentation and ensure everyone is on the same page about your health status.
