Pre-admission Testing
Pre-admission testing helps ensure that you have the safest surgery and that you and your surgical team are prepared for the procedure. Depending on your current health status, our care team will decide if you would benefit from:
- Physical exam
- Lab tests
- EKG
- Additional exams by specialist doctors
In addition, two days before your surgery, you will be required to have a COVID-19 screening test. You can have to COVID test performed at our facility or at another approved Mount Sinai facility.
