Drug test at consult?

We do complete bloodwork in the morning of the surgery. However, it is crucial for you to inform your surgeon and the anesthesiologist if you are using marijuana even if it is for medical purposes.

Typically lab testing is not performed at a consultation. Once a procedure is scheduled the surgeon will give orders for any lab work that is needed prior to surgery. Your surgeon will inform you of what needs to be stopped prior to surgery. This will include certain medications, nicotine, marijuana, and others. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

Thanks for your question! I can't imagine that you would be drug tested at your consultation. They may submit you to bloodwork prior to surgery. Good luck!
