Prior to any surgery requiring anesthesia, your child will need to have a pre-operative surgical clearance performed. At this visit we will assess your child’s risks for surgery and anesthesia, discuss the procedure, and review the anticipated course after the procedure. Ideally this visit is done within 7 days prior to the surgery. Most surgeons have a specific form to be filled out. Please bring any paperwork provided by the surgeon so that we may best assist you. Call the office to make your appointment when your surgery is scheduled.
