What is a Pre-Surgical Evaluation?

A Pre-Surgical Evaluation is a thorough psychological assessment conducted before your scheduled surgery.

 

This evaluation is often required for procedures such as bariatric and spinal cord stimulator surgeries. It involves a detailed interview, psychological testing, and a review of your medical history to evaluate your mental readiness and identify any potential psychological factors that might impact your surgical outcome.
