Pre-Surgical Evaluations
At Lifespan, we understand the importance of mental health evaluations before surgery. Our Pre-Surgical Evaluations are designed to ensure that your mental health and wellness are taken into consideration before any surgical procedure. Our team of experts works closely with you to identify any potential risks and develop a plan to address them, so you can approach your surgery with a clear mind and confident spirit.
Our tailored pre-surgical evaluations ensure your prerequisites are met with comfort and precision. We conduct comprehensive evaluations and communicate with your medical team regarding recommendations for treatment when appropriate. You will receive a comprehensive report that we work with you to create that outlines your specific needs and our recommendations to help ensure positive health outcomes. Our pre-surgical evaluations include various bariatric procedures, reconstructive surgeries, deep brain stimulation, and more.
The pre-surgical assessment typically begins with a referral from your surgical team. You and one of our clinicians will meet for an initial intake to discuss your surgical goals as well as medical and psychological history, mental health, and physical health. You may also be asked to complete brief assessments pertaining to your particular surgery, and your clinician will collect all the data and information and write up a comprehensive report that interprets results while also providing any appropriate recommendations aimed at positive pre- and post-surgical outcomes. With your permission, your clinician will communicate with your surgical team any recommendations and/or results that may apply. Your surgical team may also request, and with your permission, receive a copy of your comprehensive report.
