Chapters

Whatever we can do to support the patient, we do because it is a large decision undergo explant surgery, want to provide the best possible setting for them. So we always want patients to pick their explant surgeon carefully. If they can't come visit us in Austin or have a virtual we know we can't take care of everybody. I'm limited by how many, you know, I can care for at one time, but we have a large network to help and provide support. You want everybody just to get the best care possible. So always seek out a qualified surgeon, make sure they're doing explants routinely and they understand the ramifications as I've discussed them on my shows and wish you all the best on your healing journey.
