Follow-up

Someone from the AMPSC will try to call the next business day following your surgery to check on you. Friday surgeries will be called the following Monday.

If you are unable to receive the call, feel free to call us at (515) 965-2200 between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. and be sure to mention any problems you may have.
After surgery you will have a follow-up appointment.
During the visit, your doctor will check how you are healing.
If you have any questions regarding your progress, write them down before you go for this visit and ask them at your appointment.
