Pre-Operative Physicals in Harper's Point

If you're preparing for an upcoming surgery, a pre-operative physical exam can help ensure you're medically ready for the procedure. At AFC Urgent Care Harper's Point, we provide comprehensive pre-op physicals for patients throughout Harper's Point, Cincinnati, and surrounding communities. Our experienced medical team works to identify any health concerns that could impact your surgery and provide the documentation your surgeon requires.

What Is a Pre-Operative Physical?

A pre-operative physical exam, often called a pre-op exam or surgery clearance physical, is a medical evaluation performed before a scheduled surgical procedure. The purpose of the exam is to assess your overall health and identify any medical conditions that could increase the risk of complications during or after surgery.

Your surgeon wants to ensure that you are healthy enough to safely undergo anesthesia and the planned procedure. A pre-op physical provides important information about your current health status and can help uncover conditions that may require additional treatment or monitoring before surgery.

During your visit, our medical providers may evaluate:

• Your medical history and previous surgeries
• Current medications, vitamins, and supplements
• Blood pressure, heart rate, and other vital signs
• Heart and lung function
• Existing medical conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure
• Allergies and potential medication interactions
• Required laboratory testing or diagnostic screenings requested by your surgeon

Depending on your procedure and medical history, additional testing may be necessary. Some surgeons require diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays, to provide a more complete picture of your health before surgery. AFC Urgent Care offers convenient on-site imaging services, making it easy to complete many pre-surgical requirements in one location. Learn more about our X-Ray Services.

Patients preparing for employment-related procedures, occupational health requirements, or workplace medical clearances may also benefit from our comprehensive Pre-Employment Physicals, which evaluate overall fitness and health status for job-related responsibilities.

By completing a pre-operative physical before your procedure, you can help reduce the risk of surgical complications, ensure your surgeon has the information needed to provide safe care, and move forward with greater confidence on the day of your surgery.

Why Do You Need a Pre-Op Exam?

Surgeons use pre-operative exams to help ensure patients can safely undergo anesthesia and surgery. Conditions such as heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes, respiratory disorders, or uncontrolled high blood pressure may increase surgical risks if not identified beforehand.

A thorough pre-op evaluation helps:

• Reduce the risk of surgical complications
• Identify underlying health concerns
• Ensure safe anesthesia administration
• Provide your surgical team with important medical information
• Help patients feel confident before their procedure

Our goal is to help you enter surgery as safely and as healthy as possible.

What Should You Bring to Your Appointment?

To help streamline your visit, please bring:

• A valid photo ID
• Insurance card (if applicable)
• List of medications
• Any forms provided by your surgeon
• Information about your upcoming procedure
