Users

Pre-surgical interview

What is it?

As its name implies, it deals with a conversation conducted prior to the surgery with the purpose of establishing if the patient is fit to undergo surgical intervention. During this stage we check aspects such as:

Conducting all medical exams required by the treating physician.
Verifying that all necessary precautions are taken before performing an operation, such as having blood reserves, and all precautions set forth in the existing medical protocols or standards for the various surgeries.
Hygiene, eating and dress recommendations.
Coverage rights according to the patient’s health entity.
Dispelling patient’s doubts and concerns, so that he/she is better prepared, physically, psychologically and emotionally for the surgery.

Follow up at home

Clínica Nuestra Señora de los Remedios is known for the physical and spiritual care it provides the sick. This is why it includes, in its care model, telephone calls to the operated patient to enquire about the development of his/her health. We are an institution committed to providing excellent quality services.
