A patient flew in for explant surgery with just two weeks to prepare. Dr. Whitfield's team called and texted before the procedure, making them feel supported enough to go through with it. They recommend following his post-op advice, especially ice packs.
Coming into town, I was a bit nervous because I only had two weeks to prepare for surgery, which is not very common. But coming into town, it was amazing. My husband and I, actually, it was almost like a mini vacation for us because we got to spend a whole weekend here, and we met with Dr. Whitfield beforehand. I met the entire team here. It was just a very welcoming environment. It didn't seem like I was meeting strangers. It almost felt like I was already meeting people that already had my back. They had already been supporting me on the phone, talking to me, texting me, and it was just a very comforting environment, and it made me that much more confident going into surgery. So, yeah, definitely, I would take the recommendations of Dr. Whitfield and, you know, pay attention to your ice packs.
