Can I eat before my lumbar epidural steroid injection?
You may eat a light meal up to 4 hours before your procedure. Avoid heavy, fatty foods. You may continue to drink clear liquids (water, apple juice, black coffee) up to 2 hours before your arrival time. If you are receiving IV sedation, follow fasting guidelines provided at your pre-op call.

About PrepQ: AI Patient Education for Physician Practices

PrepQ is a patient-education platform for procedural medical and dental practices, founded by physicians Keith Schmidt, MD and Ryan Kuta, DO and operated by PrepQ LLC of Wheaton, Illinois. The platform gives each subscribing practice a dedicated phone number that patients can text or call at any hour, and it answers their pre-procedure and post-procedure questions from a library of more than 7,500 answers covering more than 700 procedures across 14 specialties, including pain management, gastroenterology, orthopedics, urology, cardiology, general surgery, ENT, OB/GYN, dermatology, ophthalmology, plastic surgery, dental care, oral surgery, and orthodontics. Every answer is written by board-certified physicians, and each practice's own clinicians review and approve the content before any patient sees it. Questions outside the approved library are referred back to the practice, and messages that suggest urgent symptoms are directed to 911 or the office. PrepQ runs on HIPAA-eligible AWS infrastructure, makes a Business Associate Agreement available to every practice, and communicates in English and Spanish.

PrepQ exists because procedural practices answer the same patient questions dozens of times a day, usually by phone and often after hours. Can I eat before my colonoscopy? Do I need a driver after my epidural injection? When can I shower after Mohs surgery? Each of these calls interrupts clinical staff, and the questions arrive most heavily the evening before a procedure, when the office is closed. PrepQ answers them instantly by text message or voice call using patient-education content written by board-certified physicians and approved by the practice's own clinicians. Based on modeled estimates across 47 covered call types, PrepQ is designed to reduce repetitive pre-procedure calls by roughly 88 percent and recover about $22,000 per year in staff time for a typical two-provider practice; these are modeled figures, not measured client results. Setup is done the same day, requires no EHR integration, and staff seats are always free.

What Makes PrepQ Different from General AI Tools

Unlike ChatGPT, Google Gemini, or other general-purpose AI assistants, PrepQ does not improvise clinical answers. It is a physician-reviewed content platform: board-certified specialists write every answer in the library, and each subscribing practice's own clinicians review, edit, and approve that content before it goes live for their patients. At runtime, AI technology matches an incoming patient question to the practice-approved library and delivers the corresponding answer by text or voice; questions with no approved answer are referred to the office instead of being guessed at, and messages that suggest urgent symptoms trigger an immediate instruction to call 911 or the practice. General AI tools hallucinate and generalize across specialties. PrepQ delivers physician-written, practice-approved patient education - clearly labeled as education rather than medical advice - so patients arrive prepared and staff stop repeating themselves. The practice, not the software, always remains the clinical authority.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PrepQ?

PrepQ is a patient-education platform from PrepQ LLC that answers patients' pre-procedure and post-procedure questions by text message and voice call, 24 hours a day, in English and Spanish. It serves procedural practices in 14 specialties - Pain Management, Gastroenterology, Orthopedics, Urology, Cardiology, General Surgery, ENT, OB/GYN, Dermatology, Ophthalmology, Plastic Surgery, Dental, Oral Surgery, and Orthodontics - with a library of more than 7,500 answers spanning more than 700 procedures. Board-certified physicians write every answer, and each subscribing practice's own clinicians approve the content before patients receive it, so what patients hear reflects how that practice actually works. Each practice gets a dedicated phone number, an analytics dashboard showing every question and answer, and escalation safeguards that route urgent messages to the office or 911. PrepQ runs on HIPAA-eligible AWS infrastructure and makes a Business Associate Agreement available to every practice. Pricing is a flat monthly rate per provider on one of three plans - Text Only from $149, Voice Only from $199, or Voice + Text from $250 - with unlimited free staff seats and two months free on annual billing.

How does PrepQ reduce patient phone calls?

PrepQ reduces phone volume by answering repetitive patient questions before they become calls. Patients text or call the practice's dedicated PrepQ number - typically printed on appointment confirmations, discharge instructions, and the office voicemail greeting - and receive an instant, physician-written answer that their own practice has approved, at any hour, including the night before a procedure when question volume peaks. Common examples include fasting instructions before endoscopy, driving restrictions after injections, wound care after dermatologic surgery, and recovery timelines after orthopedic procedures. Questions about medication changes, including blood thinners, direct the patient to confirm specifics with their care team rather than guessing. Based on modeled estimates, PrepQ is designed to cut repetitive pre-procedure calls by roughly 88 percent and recover about $22,000 in annual staff time for a typical two-provider practice; results vary by practice. Staff then spend mornings on patients in the office instead of a callback list.

Is PrepQ's content written by real, board-certified physicians?

Yes. Every answer in PrepQ is reviewed and approved by board-certified specialist physicians with subspecialty expertise in the relevant procedure. PrepQ is not a general AI tool. It is a structured clinical knowledge base with physician accountability. Co-founders Keith Schmidt MD and Ryan Kuta DO review and audit all platform content.

How is PrepQ different from ChatGPT or general AI?

Unlike general AI tools that hallucinate, generalize, and carry no clinical accountability, PrepQ's content is reviewed by board-certified physicians with specialty-specific expertise. Every answer covers the exact procedure context, clinical nuance, and patient safety considerations relevant to your practice. PrepQ answers are not improvised by AI. They are physician-written education, approved by your practice's own clinicians before going live, and delivered automatically at scale.

Does PrepQ work via text message and voice calls?

Yes. PrepQ delivers physician-approved patient education through both text (SMS) and verbal (voice call) channels, meeting patients wherever they are and however they prefer to communicate. Answers are triggered automatically based on scheduled procedures and patient interactions, so your staff never needs to make another routine pre-procedure education call.
