I didn't really get all the information I feel I want about my surgery and what to expect afterwards. I acknowledge that this is mostly my fault for not being prepared to ask the relevant questions, but the office could probably anticipate better with answers to FAQ. This visit was a surgical consult for cochlear surgery.
