At Independence and Lee’s Summit Pediatrics, we offer comprehensive preoperative physical exams for children to ensure they are healthy and well-prepared for surgery. These exams are essential in assessing your child’s overall health, identifying any potential risks and providing the necessary medical clearance for a safe surgical experience. During the preop physical, we review your child's medical history, perform a thorough examination, and may order additional tests – such as blood work or imaging – based on the type of surgery. Our goal is to ensure that all aspects of your child’s health are considered, allowing for a smooth procedure and quick recovery. We take the time to answer any questions you may have and provide guidance on pre-surgery preparations and post-surgery care, ensuring you feel confident and informed throughout the process.
