At NOSS, our primary goal is always the safety and well-being of our patients. To that end, up-to-date x-rays and imaging studies will be needed to clearly evaluate your condition before surgery. When surgery is recommended, patients will also be required to undergo a physical examination, routine laboratory blood tests, and often a chest x-ray and EKG. Family physicians and other treating specialists may be consulted to assist in the pre-operative assessment.
