Default Postop followup

Hi,

I saw two neurosurgeons and an ortho (whom I know socially as well). While the neuros said no, the ortho said he would, but was so unpleasant, I ended up going with my internal medicine doctor. I have my X-rays and send them to Dr. Clavel and take his reports to my MD. Worked for me, I think most surgeons would see you 6 months after....liability. For me, I have a healthcare background and wanted positivity postop. I agree with 2confused, line it up before you go!
