PA was very cautious in relaying the risks and how a specific procedure would affect me in the long term. Dr. Stefko was brought into the discussion and a solution for moving forward with future treatment was agreed upon.

I appreciate Dr. Stefko so very much. She takes the time to explain things and takes all my concerns seriously. She gave me the option to have the other tube Inserted without just assuming I was going to have It done. She has explained everything so clearly and I am grateful for the wonderful care.

There was no post procedure discussion about care and what not. I just sat there while they did there computer work until I asked If there was anything they needed to discuss with me or If I should just leave and and they said I could go. No idea what I had to do when I got home. If I should shower if I needed cold or warm compresses and how oftenetc. I asked and about post care and follow up and they said no not really and then said well here's a paper with some instructions. The instructions said cold compress as directed. No one directed me to do anything
