Pre-Op Surgery Clearance
in Billings, MT
Fast Virtual Medical Assessments for Surgical Readiness
MyPreOp connects Billings patients with board-certified preoperative medicine specialists through secure telemedicine, eliminating the scheduling delays that disrupt surgical timelines. Founded by physicians Dr. Shamim Shakibai and Dr. Joshua Lewis, our platform was built to solve a critical gap in surgical preparation: patients waiting weeks for primary care clearance while surgeons need timely medical documentation.
​
Our virtual consultations deliver comprehensive preoperative evaluations from the comfort of your Billings home or office. Most Yellowstone County patients receive complete clearance within 24 to 48 hours once required results are finalized.
Why Billings Patients Choose Virtual
Preoperative Clearance
MyPreOp removes the logistical obstacles and scheduling delays that complicate surgical preparation for Montana residents. Whether you work at Billings Clinic, St. Vincent Healthcare, ConocoPhillips Billings Refinery, or First Interstate Bank headquarters, virtual preoperative clearance fits your schedule without adding hours of appointment time to your week.
Same-Day Scheduling Instead of Month-Long Delays
Primary care appointments in Montana average four weeks from initial request to available appointment. For professionals working demanding schedules at ExxonMobil operations, Northwestern Energy facilities, or Montana State University Billings faculty and staff, waiting weeks for clearance delays surgical timelines.
MyPreOp provides same-day or next-day access in most cases. Two out of three patients are scheduled within 24 hours of contacting us. Complete clearance typically arrives within 24 to 48 hours once required results are finalized.
Complete Evaluations From Home
Virtual appointments eliminate I-90 corridor congestion during shift changes, 27th Street traffic through Billings' commercial district, King Avenue backups near the medical corridor, and daily rush on Grand Avenue through downtown. Whether you're avoiding parking fees at medical facilities near Rimrock Road or the congestion around MetraPark during events, your appointment requires only an internet connection. Connect with a board-certified physician from your home in the Heights, your office downtown, or anywhere in the Yellowstone Valley. Complete a thorough medical assessment without disrupting your work schedule or daily routine.
Specialized Expertise vs General Primary Care
Our board-certified physicians conduct hundreds of surgical clearance evaluations annually. This concentrated focus means procedure-specific risk assessment, faster identification of medical optimization needs, and documentation structured precisely for operating room requirements. Primary care physicians manage diverse conditions across all age groups. MyPreOp physicians specialize in one thing: ensuring you're medically ready for surgery.
