When you are scheduled for surgery at our center, you will receive a text message from Summit Surgery Center of Santa Barbara on behalf of your physician, requesting you to complete a pre-assessment survey via the provided link. It is important to complete this form as soon as possible so that our medical team can review your information prior to your visit to ensure patient safety. You will then receive a call form a nurse on our team, who will review your health history with you prior to your procedure.
