How we serve
Streamlined care through Peri-Operative Medicine. Our physicians evaluate patients starting from the Pre-operative period and can streamline and strengthen the medical clearance process.
Using the anesthesiologist in PAT process reduces cancellations and delays through early physician evaluation and optimization. In some instances, we may complete an in-person pre-op evaluation, eliminate cardiac and medical clearance, and provide all pre-op testing. This saves surgeon’s office and outpatient staff a tremendous amount of time and improves both safety and efficiency.
