Dr. Harb would like to see you back in the office 4 weeks after surgery.
Call for an appointment or schedule this at your final preoperative visit. At this office visit an x-ray will be taken and your incision will be examined.
The next follow up appointment will be 4 months from surgery and then 1 year from surgery.
After that Dr. Harb likes to see his patients every 5 years following surgery.
