Pre-Op Physical

As you begin to prepare for your surgery, please thoroughly review your procedure paperwork and information in your surgical packet in order to learn more about your upcoming procedure with Dr. [Surgeon]. 

It is extremely important to ensure you are in good health when you have your surgery.  If you were instructed to do so, please remember to schedule your preoperative history and physical if you have not done so already.

Timing Matters: Your preoperative physical should be no more than 30 days and no less than 14 days prior to surgery. If your procedure was scheduled within this window, please make sure this is complete before your day of surgery.

GLP Medications: Please make sure you discuss discontinuing any GLP medications (examples: Ozempic, Wegovy, Trulicity, Bydureon, Mounjaro, Byetta, Victoza etc.) with your provider at this appointment.

Employer Paperwork: If your employer requires forms completed by your surgeon, submit them (after completing your portion) to Summit Orthopedics via mail (710 Commerce Dr, Suite 200, Woodbury, MN 55125) or fax (651-968-5903), ATTN: Dr. [Surgeon]’s Team; allow up to 10 days for processing.

If you have any questions or concerns, please call your care team.
