Pre-Surgical Clearance in Houston, Texas

When your surgeon requires medical clearance before a procedure, timing is everything. Surgical dates are often set weeks in advance, and a delayed clearance exam can mean a postponed operation — along with extended pain, disrupted work schedules, and additional costs. Hybrid Health Clinics at Briar Forest offers comprehensive pre-surgical clearance examinations at 13410 Briar Forest Drive, Suite 190 — a service uniquely available at this location within our network — with on-site diagnostics that allow us to deliver results the same day.

Our pre-operative evaluation is designed to assess your readiness for surgery and anesthesia. Houston is home to some of the world's premier medical centers and surgical facilities, and we work alongside area surgeons and anesthesiologists to ensure our clearance process meets their specific requirements. Whether you are scheduled for an orthopedic procedure at a West Houston surgery center, a cardiac intervention in the Texas Medical Center, or a cosmetic procedure at a private facility, our team tailors the evaluation to the demands of your specific surgery.

Our pre-surgical clearance includes:

• Comprehensive medical history and physical examination — cardiovascular, pulmonary, and systemic assessment with attention to anesthesia risk factors
• On-site EKG — 12-lead electrocardiogram with same-day interpretation, the most commonly required cardiac screening for surgical clearance
• Laboratory testing — CBC, comprehensive metabolic panel, coagulation studies, urinalysis, and any additional labs specified by your surgeon
• Chest X-ray — digital imaging available on-site for patients who require pulmonary screening prior to general anesthesia
• Medication review — assessment of current medications with guidance on pre-surgical adjustments, including blood thinners, diabetic medications, and supplements
• Risk stratification — evaluation of cardiac, pulmonary, and metabolic risk using established clinical guidelines

Having all diagnostic capabilities under one roof — EKG, laboratory, and X-ray — eliminates the fragmented process of visiting separate facilities for each test. Our providers can complete the clinical evaluation, review diagnostic results, and issue clearance documentation in a single appointment, often within 60 to 90 minutes.

Extended hours at our Briar Forest clinic — weekdays until 7 PM, Saturday 9 AM to 5 PM, Sunday 10 AM to 5 PM — provide flexibility for patients juggling work and pre-surgical preparation. Call 281-771-1144 to schedule your clearance exam and bring your surgeon's order form for the most efficient visit.
