Think post op patients with incisional wound issues should promptly be referred to wound clinic. I knew to ask for this, but most pts don't and wounds should be optimally dealt with, i.e. If causing pain or functional limitations.

Dr. Johnson and her staff are always very attentive to our every need. On this particular day she was running behind . We arrived at the office at 9:50 for our 10 a.m. Appointment and were informed she was running behind. By the time we completed our appointment and scheduled upcoming visits it was 11:30 a.m.. This was an unusual amount of time for a brief check-up and to schedule a follow-up visit.

Dr Johnson was extremely knowledgeable. She was kind and gentle while discussing a new cancer diagnosis. She had a great worksheet which she reviewed and gave to me so I could go back and reflect on the I formation that was given.
