Pre-Surgical Clearance & Pre-Operative Exams in Sherman Oaks
For Sherman Oaks residents preparing for scheduled surgery, Valley Family Medicine Urgent Care provides comprehensive pre-operative exam services designed to ensure you are medically ready for your procedure. Whether you’re undergoing orthopedic surgery (knee or hip replacement, rotator cuff repair), abdominal surgery (gallbladder removal, hernia repair), gynecological or urological surgery, cataract surgery, or any other elective procedure, our clinic offers fast, thorough pre-op clearance at a fraction of the cost of a hospital-based evaluation.
A complete pre-operative exam includes a detailed medical history review, comprehensive physical examination, vital signs assessment, electrocardiogram (EKG) to evaluate heart rhythm, and blood work including complete blood count (CBC), comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP), coagulation studies (PT/INR), and urinalysis. Depending on your age, medical history, and type of surgery, additional tests such as chest X-ray or pulmonary function testing may also be required. Our medical team coordinates directly with your surgeon’s office to ensure all required documentation is completed and submitted before your procedure date.
Our pre-operative exams are performed by experienced medical providers who understand the specific clearance requirements of different surgical procedures and anesthesia types. We assess for potential risk factors including uncontrolled hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, lung conditions, bleeding disorders, and medication interactions (especially blood thinners) that could complicate anesthesia or surgery. If any concerns are identified, we provide appropriate referrals or recommend further evaluation before clearance is granted.
What sets Valley Family Medicine Urgent Care apart in Sherman Oaks is our efficiency and convenience. Most pre-op exams, including EKG and lab work, can be completed in a single visit lasting 45-60 minutes. Results are typically available within 24 hours, and we fax clearance paperwork directly to your surgeon’s office the same day results are finalized.We are open Monday to Saturday; our hours are listed below.
