Preoperative Medical Optimization
Individualized medical optimization before surgery — cardiometabolic risk evaluation, functional capacity assessment, nutritional support, and coordination with your surgical team.
Not all services are available yet. Telehealth appointments begin December 2026. Please contact our office at 952-800-3363 or info@northstar-mpc.com for additional information regarding eligibility and availability. In-person appointments and diagnostic testing are planned to begin in January 2027.
What it is
A structured, physician-led evaluation that identifies and addresses modifiable medical and functional risks before surgery. Levitas assesses cardiometabolic health, functional capacity, nutritional status, and metabolic factors that influence surgical outcomes — then builds a targeted optimization plan in coordination with your referring surgeon or specialist.
This is not surgical clearance. It is individualized medical optimization designed to improve your readiness and support better recovery.
Who benefits
Patients referred by surgeons, cardiologists, or other specialists for preoperative evaluation — particularly those with obesity, reduced functional capacity, metabolic syndrome, or other conditions that increase perioperative risk. Also appropriate for patients seeking elective procedures who want to optimize their health beforehand.
Why it matters
Modifiable risk factors — deconditioning, poor nutrition, uncontrolled metabolic disease, low muscle mass — are among the strongest predictors of surgical complications and prolonged recovery. Identifying and addressing them before surgery can meaningfully improve outcomes.
Measure first. Treat the cause.
We evaluate the whole metabolic and functional picture — not just a checklist. Grip strength, walking capacity, resting metabolism, body composition, and cardiometabolic markers inform a specific, measurable optimization plan. We coordinate directly with referring surgeons and specialists, and we re-measure to confirm progress before the procedure.
One interconnected picture
Understand what is limiting you.
