preoperative Clearance Exams

At Elevate Health & Aesthetics, we provide comprehensive preoperative medical clearance exams to ensure you are fully prepared for surgery. Led by Dr. Linda Eller, DO, our evaluations go beyond a simple checklist. We combine traditional medical evaluation with functional medicine insights to optimize healing, reduce risks, and support a safe recovery.

If you’re planning to undergo elective surgery in Scottsdale, most surgeons require a pre-op clearance exam with your primary medical provider. This essential step verifies that you are medically ready for surgery, helps detect potential risks, and gives your surgical team confidence in proceeding.

A preoperative exam is a detailed evaluation of your overall health and wellness. Depending on your age, medical history, and type of surgery, the assessment may include a physical exam, lab work, EKG, and imaging orders. The goal is to ensure you are fully prepared, minimize complications, and improve your surgical outcome.
