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

Upper GI Exam

Cardiac Clearance
