Fast, Reliable Pre-Operative Medical Clearances in Broward County
Medical evaluations, EKGs, blood work, and clearance letters for cosmetic and general surgery—all coordinated in one place.
What Is a Pre-Operative Medical Clearance?
A pre-operative medical clearance—often called a pre-op clearance, surgical clearance, or pre-surgery medical clearance—is a focused medical evaluation performed before a scheduled operation. The goal is simple: confirm that you are healthy enough to undergo anesthesia and surgery safely, and identify any medical conditions that could increase your surgical risk.
Surgeons require a pre-op exam for good reason. Even procedures that seem routine place real stress on the body. A pre-op physical gives your surgical team a clear picture of your heart, lungs, blood, and overall health status before you ever enter the operating room. When your surgeon asks for "medical clearance for surgery," they are asking for documented evidence that a licensed medical provider has reviewed your history, examined you, and determined you are optimized for the procedure.
It is important to understand that pre-operative clearance is not designed to delay or deny your surgery. In the large majority of cases, the evaluation is straightforward and the patient is cleared without issue. The process exists to promote safety—catching a hidden arrhythmia, an undiagnosed bleeding tendency, or an infection before surgery is far better than discovering it afterward. When something minor is found, it can usually be addressed quickly so your procedure stays on schedule.

Physical Examination

Vital Signs
Blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and temperature are recorded to establish a clear baseline before surgery.

Lab testing tailored to your procedure and your surgeon’s requirements—commonly a CBC, CMP, coagulation studies (PT/PTT/INR), and other panels as indicated.
Electrocardiogram (EKG)
A 12-lead EKG screens for arrhythmias and other cardiac conditions that could increase anesthetic risk. Required for most cosmetic and general surgery clearances.
