Before your procedure

Thank you for choosing Inova for your upcoming procedure. We strive to provide the highest quality care in a safe environment. At Inova, you will always be treated with compassion and concern.

All patients receiving anesthesia must have an assessment interview by phone, video, or an in-person appointment. This evaluation assesses medical factors that may affect the timing of your procedure and identifies underlying conditions that may require evaluation or management.

Our services

  • Pre-anesthesia assessment with an advanced practice provider or pre-procedural telephone nurse
  • Pre-procedural and day of procedure instruction and education, including fasting and medication instructions
  • Evaluation of test results with notification to referring practice for any issues requiring follow-up
  • Review for completeness of required Inova documentation, external testing results, medical history and physical examination, consent forms and advance directives
