Pre-Operative Diagnostic Tests
In preparation for your upcoming surgery, you may be required to have certain diagnostic tests performed. Your surgeon will determine which tests you may require during an office visit and give you the necessary requisitions to take with you. Not everyone needs to have the same tests performed. You may be required to have some or all of the following: blood work, ECG, or chest x-ray.
