I live in St. Petersburg, and my surgery is at a Tampa hospital. Do I need to come over for the clearance?

No. Your MyPreOp physician evaluates you from wherever you are sitting, so the morning of the operation is the first time you cross. Name the hospital and date when you book, and the documentation will match what that facility requires.

I take seven different prescriptions. Is a video visit really enough to go through them?

It is the part a video visit does best, because you have every bottle within reach instead of a list you wrote from memory. Your MyPreOp physician goes through them one at a time and flags anything that affects your anesthetic or needs pausing before the date.

Can a physician tell anything about my heart over a video call?

Our virtual exams include AI-assisted digital stethoscope technology that helps our physicians detect heart murmurs and irregular rhythms in real time. If your physician wants more, they order it during the visit, and a 12-lead EKG unit comes to your door.

I retired here, and my old medical records are in another state. Do you need them first?

Rarely. Your MyPreOp physician builds the history with you on the call, then names the two or three documents that would actually move the decision. You'll hear about anything worth requesting before the visit ends.

Medical Clearance in
Tampa, FL

Board-certified physicians | No drive across the bay

MyPreOp provides virtual medical clearance to patients in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and across Pasco County. Tampa Bay splits this metro in two, and the clearance appointment is often on the opposite side from the patient. Your MyPreOp physician handles everything over video, orders the testing your hospital requires, and signs the documentation your surgical team is waiting on. MyPreOp accepts major insurance, as well as HSA and FSA payments.

The Patients Who Need Clearance Most
Live Across the Water

Pinellas County is one of the country's oldest large counties. The Census Bureau reports that 28.7% of Pinellas residents are 65 or older, compared with 16.5% in Hillsborough, and the older half of that pair is the half booking knee, hip, cataract, and cardiac procedures.

Much of the region's surgical capacity sits on the Hillsborough side. Tampa General Hospital has its main campus on Davis Islands, and a St. Petersburg or Clearwater patient reaches it by crossing the Howard Frankland, Gandy, or Courtney Campbell bridges.

A pre-op appointment turns that into a second round trip, booked at whatever hour the practice has free. Your MyPreOp physician performs the same evaluation without anybody driving over a bridge.

Clearance Without the Round Trip

Here is how the usual Tampa Bay conflicts resolve when the visit happens at home.

A Longer History Takes
Longer to Review

An older patient brings more to a pre-op evaluation. More previous operations, more prescriptions, more specialists involved, and more facilities asking for a cardiac workup before they will schedule anything.

A twenty-minute slot does not cover that. The appointment ends with half the list unexamined and a request for testing that may or may not be the testing your hospital actually wants.

We're able to see patients in more than 150 languages with real-time interpretation, so language is never a barrier to your care. Spanish-speaking patients can also reach our team on (424) 209-2973.

How the MyPreOp Process Works

A video visit does not shorten the evaluation your hospital expects. It removes the drive, the parking, and the wait that normally surround it.

What to Expect During Your MyPreOp Appointment

This appointment answers a narrower question than your regular doctor does, and a harder one: whether your body will manage this particular anesthetic. The small details decide it.

Types of Surgery We Provide Pre-Op Clearance For

Clearance requests out of Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco tend to come ahead of these.

Pre-op clearance requirements vary by facility and anesthesia type. Your surgeon’s office or MyPreOp can help you confirm those details.

For Tampa Bay Healthcare Providers

Patients traveling across the bay for every appointment are the ones most likely to arrive late, reschedule, or run out of time before the operation. Your staff absorbs that as phone calls and a surgical date nobody can commit to.

Keep the Bridge for
the Operation Itself

You already have one trip across the water booked, on a morning when you will not be driving yourself home. You don't need a second trip for clearance.

A MyPreOp physician works through your full history over video, orders only the testing your hospital genuinely wants, and signs the documentation afterward. Your surgical team has it in hand well before the date.
