For Healthcare Partners

• How do you determine what labs or tests are needed?

  Preop Partners adheres to guidelines set forth by the American Society of Anesthesiologists and the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association to determine what lab tests or imaging studies need to be completed.

• Who does the pre-operative evaluation?

  All pre-operative evaluations are completed by qualified physicians, nurse practitioners (NPs), or physician assistants (PAs). They have all been thoroughly trained by board-certified anesthesiologists who specialize in pre-operative clearances. Additionally, all pre-operative evaluations are reviewed by board-certified anesthesiologists.

For Patients

• How long will my appointment take?

  We understand your time is valuable and we pride ourselves on efficiency. However, to ensure we do a thorough evaluation of your health and complete necessary testing, you should anticipate the visit taking 30-60 minutes in total.

• How long is the pre-operative evaluation and testing valid?

  The pre-operative evaluation will be valid for 30 days from the time of completion.

• What is the purpose of a pre-operative evaluation?

  A pre-operative evaluation is used to make sure you are medically optimized for surgery. A simple evaluation, lab tests, and imaging studies are used to ensure you have no underlying problems that may interfere with your surgery or cause post-operative complications.

• Does someone need to come with me?

  No, you do not need to bring anyone with you to your pre-operative evaluation. However, if you have ever experienced anxiety, light-headedness, or fainted from prior medical evaluations or laboratory blood draws, it might be a good idea to bring someone with you.
