Pre-Surgery Clinic
When your child is scheduled for surgery, it's important for both of you to be prepared. To make sure your child is ready and that surgery and recovery will go smoothly, your doctor will make an appointment for the two of you with UCSF's pediatric Pre-Surgery Clinic.
We'll perform the needed tests and blood work, and do a physical exam. If your child is going to be sedated, a nurse practitioner or anesthesiologist will talk to you about anesthesia and pain during and after the operation. In addition to making sure our young patients are medically prepared, we want to help them understand and feel comfortable with their hospital visit.
