Pre-Operative Clearance†
Quick call • No obligation • Speak directly with our team
Preparing for surgery involves more than showing up on the right day. Before any procedure — whether elective or medically necessary — your surgical team needs to know that your heart, lungs, and overall health can safely handle the demands of anesthesia and recovery. At Modern Human MD, Dr. Tran provides thorough pre-operative evaluations that go beyond a quick once-over. She takes the time to understand your health history, review your medications, and order any necessary labs or tests — so your surgical team has everything they need, and you can move forward with confidence.

What a Pre-Operative Evaluation Includes
Dr. Tran's pre-operative evaluation typically includes a thorough review of your medical history, current medications and supplements, past surgical and anesthesia experiences, and any active health conditions that may affect your procedure. Depending on your age, health status, and the nature of your surgery, she may also order laboratory work, an EKG, or additional testing to give your surgical team the full picture they need. The goal is not just to complete a form — it's to make sure any risks are identified early, your health is as optimized as it can be before your procedure, and your care team has clear, accurate information going in.
How We Work With Your Surgical Team
Dr. Tran communicates directly with your surgeon and anesthesiologist as needed, providing a clear and complete clearance document that reflects your current health status. If any concerns come up during your evaluation — such as blood pressure that needs adjustment or a medication that should be paused — she'll work with you and your team to address them before your procedure date. You won't be left to coordinate on your own. Modern Human MD handles the communication and documentation so that every provider involved in your care is working from the same information.
Before Your Pre-Op Appointment
- ✓Bring a complete list of all medications, vitamins, and supplements you're currently taking
- ✓Have your surgery date, procedure name, and your surgeon's contact information ready to share
- ✓Note any previous surgeries, complications with anesthesia, or significant medical events in your history
- ✓Bring any recent lab results, EKGs, or specialist notes that may be relevant to your evaluation
Important
Pre-operative clearance is a medical evaluation intended to assess your readiness for surgery — it is not a guarantee of a complication-free outcome. Dr. Tran will be transparent about any findings and will work with you and your surgical team to address concerns before your procedure. If additional specialist input is needed, she will help facilitate those referrals in a timely way.
Frequently Asked Questions
1How far in advance of my surgery should I schedule a clearance appointment?
Ideally, you should schedule your pre-operative evaluation at least one to two weeks before your surgery date. This gives enough time to complete any required lab work, address any findings, and send documentation to your surgical team without rushing.
2What if Dr. Tran identifies a health concern during my evaluation?
If something comes up during your evaluation, Dr. Tran will discuss it with you directly and determine whether it can be addressed before your procedure or whether your surgical team needs to be informed. The goal is to help you move forward safely — not to create unnecessary delays.
3Do I need to stop any medications before my pre-op appointment?
Continue taking your medications as usual unless your surgeon has already given you specific instructions to stop. Dr. Tran will review everything during your visit and advise on any adjustments that may be needed before the procedure.
4Will Dr. Tran send my clearance directly to my surgeon?
Yes. Dr. Tran can coordinate directly with your surgical team to provide your clearance documentation and any relevant clinical notes, so you don't have to manage the paperwork yourself.
5Does Modern Human MD provide clearances for all types of surgery?
Dr. Tran provides pre-operative medical clearances for a wide range of elective and medically necessary procedures. If your situation requires additional specialist involvement — such as a cardiologist — she will let you know and help facilitate that referral.
6How does Modern Human MD handle payment for pre-operative clearance visits?
Modern Human MD is a direct-pay practice, meaning costs are straightforward and reviewed with you in advance. There are no surprise bills or insurance delays — just clear, transparent pricing for your visit and any associated testing.
