Pre-operative History and Physical

You will need to see your primary care doctor for a pre-operative physical exam. Please schedule this to take place within 60 days of your surgery. This will need to be faxed to the surgery center at (651) 222-9145. It will be reviewed by our Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. If significant health concerns are found at this visit, your surgery may need to be re-scheduled at a hospital. If there are any concerns you will be contacted by the surgery center nursing staff.
