Bagboy,
His office is a well oiled machine. When we called for the initial appt. he wanted all of Bill's complete lab work, biopsy results, etc. His info was sent by Advanced Urology and by our PCC. Once they have all the info he needs they scheduled his appt for a consultation. Bill could have had surgery earlier. We actually didn't ask for it to be ASAP. Bill wanted to lose weight and work out, get in shape etc, and we scheduled his surgery for 6 months out.
30 days prior to surgery he had to have an EKG, and his PCC had to sign off that he had no medical conditions which would exclude him from surgery.
He never has had any medical problems. His only meds were for his Bladder symptoms. Things were very uncomplicated to check off the list and be ready for surgery.
His office kept in touch with Adv Uro and our PCC to get everything in in a timely manor.
