Gallbladder Ultrasound Exam

A gallbladder ultrasound exam is a noninvasive examination used to diagnose conditions related to the gallbladder.

Nutritional Evaluation

A nutritional evaluation or assessment is a way to determine if an individual or group of people are malnourished or well-nourished. This determination is made by examining dietary date, clinical data, lab test results, and anthropometric data.

Primary Care Physician Clearance

Primary care physician clearance is the clearance of a patient for surgery that is given by the patient's primary care physician. This clearance signifies that the patient has no underlying health conditions that can interfere with the surgical outcome or threaten the health and wellbeing of the patient.

Psychological Evaluation

Psychological evaluation is used to gather important information about a patient's psychological wellbeing from a trained psychiatrist, psychologist, or other health professional. This information can then be used to make a psychological diagnosis.

Upper GI Exam

An upper GI exam is a procedure in which a doctor uses x-rays, fluoroscopy, and a liquid called barium that will make your upper GI tract more visible on an x-ray.

Cardiac Clearance

Surgeons periodically identify patients who are candidates for surgery based on symptoms or risk factors identified in the preoperative evaluation. The surgeon may want cardiac clearance prior to performing surgery to avoid complications during surgery.
