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

Hello, My doctor spent almost 2 hours with me at my consultation and I felt very comfortable with him. I expected that my Dr. would be at my pre-op appointment. But he wasn't. It was the nurse who went over all of my paper work with me and tired on seizers again to confirm implant size. My question is, is that normal that my Dr. was not at the pre op appointment? My husband couldn't make the consultation but was disappointed when he came to the pre-op and the Dr. didn't make an appearance.
