If you need any pre-operative clearances or tests to ensure you’re in good health for your procedure, your surgeon will instruct you to schedule a pre-operative appointment. You can schedule your pre-operative medical clearance within 30 days of surgery, lab work up to 30 days before surgery and EKGs up to six months before surgery.

If you don’t have a primary care doctor or can’t get an appointment before the date of your surgery, call one of our Pre-Anesthesia Testing (PAT) Centers to complete your pre-operative workup.
