The visiting doctor was great to work with. He spent a good bit of time listening to me and assisting me with my concerns. Dr. Wilson, the surgeon I was supposed to actually be following up with, spent very little time with me. I almost felt as though I was an afterthought to him or he was too busy to sit down and actually have a conversation with me and my care. Maybe this is because I'm doing well, maybe he was overbooked, or maybe the whole idea is for the visiting doctor to gain more experience, but this should be more clear when the appointment is made, that the doctor you are scheduled to see will most likely spend less than 60 seconds talking with and making recommendations to the other doctor(s) regarding your care.
