When you or a loved one requires surgery, proper preparation is the cornerstone of a safe outcome. At Valley Family Medicine, your trusted urgent care center in San Fernando City, we specialize in comprehensive Pre-Op Exams and Surgical Clearance services. Located right here in the heart of San Fernando, we understand that local residents need fast, reliable, and thorough evaluations without the long waits at traditional hospitals. Our mission is simple: to ensure you are medically optimized for any upcoming procedure, from minor surgeries to complex operations.

Why choose an urgent care for your surgical clearance? Because at Valley Family Medicine, we combine convenience with clinical excellence. Our team of experienced providers conducts a detailed assessment that includes reviewing your medical history, current medications, allergies, and any chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or heart disease. We perform a focused physical exam, check vital signs, and when necessary, order on-site diagnostics like EKGs, blood work, or chest X-rays. All of this is done efficiently, often on the same day, so you can present a complete clearance packet to your surgeon without delay.

Surgical clearance is not just a formality—it is a critical safety step. It helps anesthesiologists and surgeons anticipate potential complications, adjust anesthesia protocols, and decide if further specialist evaluation is needed. At Valley Family Medicine, we follow evidence-based guidelines from the American Society of Anesthesiologists, ensuring your report is respected by any surgical team. We also communicate directly with your surgeon’s office to streamline the process.

Serving the San Fernando City community, we are conveniently located and offer extended urgent care hours. No appointment is necessary for your pre-op exam, though you are welcome to call ahead. Simply bring a list of your medications, any relevant medical records, and the name of your surgeon. Most clearances are completed within one to two hours. Our contact number is 818-774-0955. Whether you need clearance for orthopedic surgery, gallbladder removal, hernia repair, or any other procedure, trust Valley Family Medicine to provide thorough, compassionate, and timely care.
