Pre-Operative Physicals
If you’re scheduled for surgery or a medical procedure, your surgeon may request a pre-operative medical evaluation before your procedure.
At You Matter Healthcare, we can perform a pre-operative evaluation and coordinate required testing based on the orders or requirements provided by your surgeon or surgical facility.
Your pre-operative evaluation may include:

Please Bring Your Surgeon’s Pre-Op Orders: Every surgeon and facility may have different requirements. Patients should bring or have their surgeon send us their pre-operative clearance request, required laboratory orders, EKG requirements, and any other requested testing before the appointment whenever possible.
A pre-operative evaluation does not guarantee surgical clearance. Additional testing, specialist evaluation, or clearance from another healthcare professional may be necessary depending on your medical history, examination, test results, and the type of procedure planned.
