Pre-admission Testing gives your physician and anesthesiologist important information about your current state of health before your surgery.
During your Pre-Admission Testing visit:
- Your health history and medication information will be reviewed.
- Several tests will be performed, including diagnostic blood tests, urinalysis and any other tests that may be ordered by your physician.
- You will receive information about your anesthesia.
If you are under the age of 18, a parent or guardian must sign the consent forms required for testing and surgery.
To schedule your PAT appointment, call: 615-284-5219.
Pre-Admission Testing is available Mon-Fri 5am-4pm.
