Pre-Operative Medical Clearance Near Fort Lauderdale, FL
Preparing for cosmetic surgery should be exciting—not stressful because you’re still trying to figure out where to complete your medical clearance.
Hi Doc Medical Center helps Fort Lauderdale-area patients complete their required pre-operative medical evaluation, laboratory testing, EKG when required, and clearance documentation in one coordinated process.
Whether your procedure is scheduled locally or elsewhere in South Florida, our goal is to help you understand what your surgeon requires and complete your clearance efficiently.
Pre-Op Clearance for Fort Lauderdale Cosmetic Surgery Patients
Fort Lauderdale has one of the most active cosmetic and plastic surgery markets in South Florida. Patients from across the region travel here for procedures at surgical practices throughout the city, and many of those patients still need a separate medical clearance appointment before their operation can move forward.
If you live or are staying near Las Olas Boulevard, Downtown Fort Lauderdale, Victoria Park, Coral Ridge, or along Federal Highway and US-1, our Oakland Park clinic is just a short drive north. Patients coming from the Fort Lauderdale Beach area can reach us quickly via Federal Highway, making it easy to fit a clearance appointment into the days leading up to surgery.
What's Included in Your Clearance
A complete pre-operative evaluation—everything your surgeon needs, coordinated in one visit.
Medical History Review
A thorough review of your medical history, current medications, prior surgeries, and allergies to identify any factors that could affect your surgery or anesthesia.
Pre-Operative Physical Examination
A complete physical exam focused on the systems most relevant to surgical risk—heart, lungs, and overall fitness for the procedure.
Vital Signs
Blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation recorded to establish a clear baseline before surgery.
EKG
A 12-lead electrocardiogram screens for arrhythmias and other cardiac conditions that could increase anesthetic risk when required by your surgeon or medical history.
Pre-Operative Laboratory Testing
Lab testing tailored to your procedure and your surgeon’s requirements. Common studies include CBC, CMP, PT/INR, PTT, Hemoglobin A1c, urinalysis, and pregnancy testing when applicable.
Medical Provider Review
Your provider reviews every test result in context with your history and exam to determine whether you are medically optimized for surgery.
Medical Clearance Documentation
A signed clearance letter is prepared once your evaluation and results are reviewed, documenting that you are cleared for the procedure.
Coordination with Your Surgical Office
We send the completed clearance documentation directly to your surgeon’s office or surgical coordinator so your procedure can move forward on schedule.
