Many surgical procedures require medical evaluation before surgery to reduce risk and optimize overall health.

During a preoperative evaluation we review your medical history, medications, chronic medical conditions, previous anesthesia experience, allergies, and functional status. Additional laboratory testing, electrocardiograms, chest X-rays, or other studies may be obtained when medically appropriate.

We also communicate with your surgeon regarding medical recommendations and help optimize chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and lung disease before surgery.

Our goal is to help ensure patients are as medically prepared as possible for a safe surgical experience.
