Recovering from surgery often requires a formal medical note to extend your leave, modify your duties, or document work restrictions. SwiftCareMD provides physician-reviewed documentation for post-surgical recovery — online, with no appointment, and delivered, same-day.
Following surgery — whether elective or emergency — most employers require formal documentation of the recovery period before allowing an employee to return to work, especially in physically demanding roles. A physician's note covering the post-operative recovery period protects the employee from losing sick leave inappropriately and ensures the employer has documented medical clearance.
Common surgery recovery scenarios where documentation is needed include orthopedic procedures (knee, hip, shoulder), abdominal surgeries, dental surgeries requiring extended recovery, and any procedure that temporarily restricts physical activity or requires limited duty accommodations.
Complete the intake form with details about your surgery, date of procedure, current recovery status, and any restrictions advised by your surgeon. Takes about five minutes.
A licensed physician in your state reviews your intake asynchronously and issues documentation appropriate to your recovery situation.
Your signed PDF is emailed and ready for your HR department, disability manager, or leave coordinator.
Employees managing post-surgical recovery who need an interim note while their surgeon's office processes paperwork, workers in physically demanding jobs who need work restriction documentation, and anyone navigating an HR process during recovery. Available in the U.S. with 24/7 live chat support.
Surgeon offices often have multi-day turnaround for documentation requests, and urgent care isn't appropriate for post-surgical matters. SwiftCareMD provides $34.99 flat-fee documentation based on your reported recovery status.
Full money-back guarantee if a note isn't clinically appropriate for your situation.
