Is it Normal for the Doctor to Not Be Present at the Pre Op Appointment?

Hi and thanks for your question. I typically do not see my patients at their pre-op appointment, because I always see them during the initial consult and the pre-op is usually handled by my PA. However, there are occasions when a patients wants to see me again and I always accommodate. I want them to feel as comfortable as they can and have all questions answered to their satisfaction. As others have advised, if you feel that your husband needs to meet him, then I would schedule an appt with him. I am sure he would want you to be completely satisfied. Good Luck!
