Surgery Readiness Checklist

Welcome to your surgery readiness checklist!

Before we can schedule your surgery at Summit Brain, Spine & Orthopedics, it’s important that you complete a series of steps to ensure the safest and most effective outcome. This checklist is designed to walk you through each requirement in a simple, step-by-step format.

Throughout this checklist, you’ll confirm that you’ve completed necessary imaging, physical therapy, pain management visits, and follow-up appointments. If you’re planning to undergo an SI Joint Fusion, you’ll be guided through a few additional requirements specific to that procedure.

By the end of this checklist, you’ll:

• Know exactly what’s required before surgery

• Confirm each step has been completed

• Be fully prepared for your final follow-up visit with our team

Our goal is to help you feel confident and informed as you prepare for surgery. If at any point you have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team.
