What can we expect at the History and Physical appointment with the Physicians Assistant/Nurse Practitioner?
This is usually a quick fifteen-minute appointment with one of our PA/NP’s in our office seven days prior to surgery. This visit is to make sure that you child’s lungs are clear and they are healthy enough to go through surgery. The PA/NP will answer any questions that you have about the day of surgery and the post operative instructions. They also will write any prescriptions that your child may need after the surgery so you can get these filled ahead of time so the night after surgery can be spent taking care of your child rather than waiting in line at the pharmacy.
