Pre-Op Assessment
What is Preoperative Care?
What is Preoperative Care?
A successful surgery doesn't start in the operating room—it begins with thorough, expert preparation. Preoperative assessment (or Pre-Op) is the comprehensive evaluation that ensures you are medically, mentally, and physically ready for your procedure.
At PrePost+, we've perfected this into a single-visit surgical clearance, replacing weeks of scattered appointments with one day of confident, coordinated care.
Why a Better Pre-Op Matters
We know the stress that last-minute surgery delays cause for everyone involved. Our goal is simple: to replace that anxiety with confidence. Our single-visit approach gets everyone on the same page, so patients feel truly supported and surgeons can proceed with trust and certainty that their patient is ready for a successful surgical outcome.

Our Comprehensive Pre-Op Assessment
Our PreOp™ assessment is a one-visit clearance that addresses medical, mental, and pain-related risks, personalized to your procedure and recovery.
Medical Clearance
To ensure the highest level of safety, our physicians perform a full physical exam, review your medical history, and use on-site labs to prevent any surprises on the day of surgery.
Cognitive & Mental Health Assessment
A positive outcome starts with feeling ready. We assess cognitive and emotional health to address any anxiety and give you the tools to approach your procedure confidently.
Pain Planning & Opioid Risk Evaluation
We work with you before surgery to create a personalized pain management plan. This forward-thinking approach minimizes opioid reliance and aligns with your surgeon's recovery goals.

FAQs – Have Questions About Your Recovery?
Q1: What happens after my Pre-Op assessment?
Our clinical team immediately reviews your results. We give you and your surgeon a clear summary of your pre-surgical readiness. If we find any potential issues, like a vitamin deficiency, we provide a simple treatment plan to ensure you are in the best possible condition for a successful surgery.
Q2: Do I really need to do this assessment?
Yes. This comprehensive preoperative assessment is a crucial step your surgeon requires to ensure the highest level of safety for your procedure. It is the new standard of care, helping us prevent delays and leading to better, safer surgical outcomes for you.
Q3: What happens if you find a health issue during my assessment?
This is precisely why our comprehensive evaluation is so valuable. If we identify a potential issue, like a treatable health condition or an abnormal lab result, our clinical team will immediately create a simple treatment plan and coordinate directly with your surgeon. Our primary goal is to solve problems before they delay your surgery.
Q4: What does the pain plan include?
Before your procedure, we create a personalized pain management plan that details medication strategies for your recovery, including a plan for safe opioid tapering to minimize reliance.
Q5: Is mental health part of the clearance?
Absolutely. Whole-body recovery starts with mental readiness. We screen for common issues like anxiety and depression to ensure you feel supported and confident heading into surgery.
Q6: Do I have to go to multiple locations?
No. PrePost+ is a proper one-stop solution. We handle your exams, labs, and behavioral screenings in a single, coordinated visit.
