One thing to consider....ask the doctor for his personal email.

I've read sooo many times about people who cannot reach their doctor after
their surgery when they are having a problem and want to discuss it with THE DOCTOR. It seems that the doctor is very busy with the next surgery but then you can't have access to them anymore.
I find that frustrating. I paid for the doctor...not the staff.
Back in my post op days, when I discussed this with Dr. Boeree, he was so confident that I wouldn't have any problems, he gave me his home phone, cell phone, email, everything just to make me feel better.
I told him this pre op because I was very worried about it because I had seen so many people post this online.
Speak up now and ask for a way to reach THE DOCTOR.
The staff is overworked already and to be honest, someone who is not in pain doesn't have the urgency that the person is pain has!
I don't know about now but back when I was considering doctor's, even Clavel gave me his cell phone. Dr. Zigler gave me his personal email when I was talking with him.

It's a big concern to me and I let them know it right up front.
Already told Zeeger's the same thing.
I'm paying for the doctor not the staff. He understood and told me not to worry. We'll see but I did make him aware so I hope he sticks to it.

Just my opinion but this is a big concern to me.
