Comprehensive pre-operative medical evaluations and required testing to ensure you are medically cleared for surgery. Same-day results at TrufaMED Urgent Care in Surfside, FL.
When your surgeon requires pre-operative clearance before a scheduled procedure, timing matters. Delays in obtaining medical clearance can postpone your surgery, disrupt your recovery timeline, and create unnecessary stress. At TrufaMED Urgent Care, we provide efficient, comprehensive pre-op evaluations that meet the requirements of surgeons and surgical centers throughout Miami-Dade County.
Our pre-operative clearance process includes a thorough medical history review, physical examination, and all required diagnostic testing — typically completed in a single visit. Depending on your surgeon's requirements and your medical history, this may include blood work (complete blood count, metabolic panel, coagulation studies), an electrocardiogram (EKG), chest X-ray via our on-site digital X-ray, and urinalysis. Because we have a CLIA-certified laboratory and in-house imaging, most results are available the same day.
All evaluations are performed by board-certified physicians who understand what surgeons and anesthesiologists need. We review your current medications, assess cardiac and respiratory fitness for anesthesia, identify any risk factors that might complicate surgery, and provide a detailed clearance letter that your surgical team can use with confidence. If any abnormalities are identified during testing, our providers discuss findings with you and, when appropriate, coordinate directly with your surgeon to determine next steps.
A comprehensive physical exam assessing cardiovascular, respiratory, and overall fitness for anesthesia and surgical procedures. Your provider documents findings in a clearance report for your surgeon.
Standard pre-surgical labs including CBC, comprehensive metabolic panel, PT/INR coagulation studies, and any additional panels your surgeon requires. Results from our CLIA-certified lab typically available same day.
On-site electrocardiogram testing to evaluate heart rhythm and identify any cardiac concerns before you undergo anesthesia. Interpreted by our physicians and included in your clearance documentation.
When required by your surgical team, our on-site digital X-ray provides immediate imaging to assess lung and cardiac status prior to surgery — no separate radiology appointment needed.
A thorough review of all current medications, supplements, and herbal products to identify anything that should be adjusted or discontinued before surgery, such as blood thinners or anti-inflammatory drugs.
A detailed clearance letter provided to your surgeon documenting your physical exam findings, lab results, EKG interpretation, and medical fitness assessment — everything your surgical team needs to proceed.
Getting pre-op clearance at TrufaMED is designed to be fast and stress-free. Bring your surgeon's pre-op order sheet (if provided), a list of your current medications, and your insurance card. If your surgeon has specific testing requirements, bring those instructions as well — this ensures we order exactly what is needed and avoid unnecessary tests or repeat visits.
Your visit begins with a medical intake and vital signs, followed by a physical examination and any required diagnostic testing. Because our laboratory and imaging equipment are on-site, there is no need to visit a separate lab or imaging center. Most patients complete the entire process — exam, labs, EKG, and X-ray — in approximately 60 to 90 minutes. Your clearance documentation is typically finalized the same day and can be sent directly to your surgeon's office.
We serve patients from across Miami-Dade County preparing for procedures at local hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and outpatient facilities. Whether you need clearance for orthopedic surgery, cosmetic procedures, cardiac interventions, or any other surgical operation, TrufaMED provides the thorough evaluation your surgical team requires — without the multi-week wait for a specialist appointment. As Florida's only Joint Commission-accredited urgent care, our quality standards match those of the hospitals where your procedure will be performed.
