PRE - SURGICAL CLEARANCE
Same-day complete surgical clearances with our physicians, lab work, electrocardiogram, and x-rays.
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.

-
Age, height, and weight: The number of co-morbidities increases with age, and the mortality rate for most surgical treatments rises linearly.
