As high as our pre-operative and surgical standards are, it is our post-operative care and follow-up that sets us apart. After returning home on the evening of surgery, each and every patient receives a personal phone call from Dr. Papanastasiou. The purpose of this call is to allay any of the initial anxieties regarding surgery and anesthesia and to provide the opportunity for you to ask any questions regarding the immediate post-operative period. The next day, you will receive a similar phone call, this time from the doctor’s nurse, again to verify that things are on track and to answer any questions.
You are usually seen within the first day or two of surgery. You are also followed very closely during the first year.
