WHAT TYPE OF FOLLOW-UP CARE WILL MY PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN NEED TO BE PREPARED TO PROVIDE?
If you are local, Dr. Smith will see you at the following intervals- 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, one year, and annually thereafter. Your PCP should see you soon after surgery and then at six month intervals as well. Your PCP helps with things like your blood pressure, diabetes, and things like colds and urinary tract infections, should they arise.
