Getting the right treatment for your injury is important, but following the proper postoperative processes are also vital to your health as well as the strength and healing time of the affected injury.

Follow-Up

We would like to see you in my office to check your surgical site and go over your postoperative plan 2-3 days after arthroscopy surgery, or 10-14 days after total shoulder surgery. If you do not already have an appointment scheduled, please call my office and arrange a follow-up on the Friday following your surgery. You will typically see my Physician Assistant at this appointment. We will discuss your postoperative plan in detail prior to your visit. I will see you at your next appointment.
