Pre-Op Physicals in Ken Caryl, CO

Pre-Surgery Exams and Medical Clearance Near Littleton

Preparing for surgery involves more than scheduling your procedure. Many surgeries require a pre-operative physical to make sure you are healthy enough for the procedure and to identify any medical concerns that your surgical team should know about beforehand.

At AFC Urgent Care Ken Caryl, we provide pre-op physical exams for patients in Ken Caryl, Littleton, and nearby communities. Our medical team can review your health history, perform a physical examination, and complete testing requested by your surgeon or surgical facility.

Need to complete your pre-op physical quickly? Our walk-in clinic is open seven days a week, and appointments are not required. You can also schedule a visit in advance if you prefer to plan your pre-surgery evaluation around your schedule.

What Is Included in a Pre-Op Physical?

A pre-operative physical is designed to give your healthcare provider a better understanding of your current health before surgery. The exact testing you need can vary depending on the type of procedure, your medical history, your age, and the requirements provided by your surgeon.

Your evaluation may include:

Review of your medical history and medications
Physical examination
Blood work
Urinalysis
EKG testing
X-rays when medically necessary
Documentation or medical clearance for your surgical team

Some procedures require specific tests before surgery, so it is important to bring any paperwork or testing requirements provided by your surgeon or surgical center. Our team can help determine which components of your pre-op evaluation are needed based on the information provided.

AFC Urgent Care Ken Caryl also offers on-site diagnostic services, including an on-site laboratory and digital X-ray services when appropriate.

When Should You Get a Pre-Op Exam?

Your surgeon or surgical facility should tell you when your physical and testing need to be completed. Some procedures have specific deadlines for pre-operative testing, so it is a good idea to schedule your evaluation early enough to allow time for any additional testing or documentation that may be required.

Before your appointment, consider bringing:

Instructions from your surgeon or surgical facility
A list of current medications
Information about existing medical conditions
Any required forms or paperwork

Having these details available can help your provider complete your evaluation efficiently.
