Your Surgery
While you are in the hospital, our physician's assistant will see you daily along with one of our doctors. Often the doctor who sees you will not be the doctor who has performed your surgery.
We communicate daily with each other regarding your care. By working together as a team, we are able to provide you with the best possible neurosurgical care. Information regarding your hospital stay will be sent to your family doctor.
Upon discharge from the hospital, please contact our office immediately to arrange for your follow-up appointment.
