Our anesthesiologists are here to administer and manage anesthesia during your surgical procedure.
Pre-admission testing
The goal of our Pre-Admission Testing (PAT) clinic is to ensure that you are ready for surgery. You'll meet our staff approximately two weeks before your scheduled surgery date.
We'll review your medications and all the necessary paperwork. We'll complete diagnostic information, including possible lab work, EKG, and chest X-rays.
You'll also take a survey that asks simple medical questions. Based on your answers, we may order preoperative lab tests. We also offer anesthesia consultation if you have a complex condition.
