Are you not able to put in a phone call to him? I know surgeons are sometimes hard to contact.
I understand about just trying to get some answers yourself, and then verifying them with the Dr. I have found it is very helpful to me to do this. It helps me to understand what questions to ask, and to understand the answers as well.
