Pre-Surgical Evaluation
At Empower to Change, we understand that undergoing surgery is a significant decision and that ensuring both physical and mental preparedness is crucial for a successful outcome. Our Pre-Surgical Evaluations are designed to support you in this process, providing a comprehensive psychological assessment that can be essential for both you and your medical team.
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.
