Medical Clearance

Medical Clearance Information

It is YOUR responsibility to call and schedule your appointment. Please notify our office once this is scheduled so that we can be looking for your clearance note.

Clearances may be scheduled no sooner than 30 days before your surgery and no later than 10 days before surgery. If scheduled more than 30 days before your surgery, your clearance will be invalid. If scheduled less than 10 days out from your surgery, there is a risk of your surgery being cancelled.
