Whether it’s a major operation or minor procedure, most patients scheduled to undergo surgery will be asked to come to the hospital for a pre-admission testing visit. For your convenience, we arrange all of the necessary testing for your surgery to take place during this one visit. Fasting is not required before your visit.
Here is some more helpful information regarding your pre-admission testing visit.
Your pre-admission testing visit assesses your health status, focuses on your anesthesia requirements and prepares you for your upcoming surgery and hospital visit. It also gives you the chance to speak with hospital staff so you know what to expect on the day of your surgery.
If your surgeon's office has already made a pre-admission appointment for you, you will receive an automated phone call with the date and time. Your pre-admission appointment can be scheduled up to 30 days before your surgery. That way we have time to get all the test results.
