Every surgical procedure has the potential for complications. Your risk for these complications depends on your overall health and any other conditions you may have. The pre-operative medical evaluation process assists surgeons in minimizing those risks to protect you.
Pre-operative evaluations guide the decision on whether to proceed with planned surgery or wait until certain aspects of your health are improved or resolved. Once you have completed your pre-operative evaluation, you and your surgeon can feel safer about moving forward.
Your surgeon will decide if a pre-operative medical evaluation is necessary before surgery. Their office provides specific instructions about what steps need to be taken. Once you have these instructions from your surgeon, you can visit MD Now for your pre-operative evaluation.
When you arrive at an MD Now clinic for your pre-operative evaluation, our physician-led team of healthcare professionals will explain the evaluation process and how we can help you prepare for surgery.
Your pre-operative medical evaluation will include:
Most pre-operative evaluations are completed around 30 days before surgery. The 7-day turnaround period allows us to ensure that any additional tests are received and reviewed, provide any necessary referrals, and coordinate with your surgeon’s office well in advance of your surgery date.
