I was given a post op appointment 2 weeks after my surgery which I assumed would be with my surgeon, but I found out I am instead meeting with a nurse. I was told that I could set an appointment with my surgeon no less than 6 weeks after my surgery. My clinic only had one time slot open at the 6 week mark which did not work for me so I have to wait 8 weeks to see him. Is this an appropriate level of care?
