We provide worldclass care to patients with cardiovascular disease, and are active advocates in primary prevention.

Follow up

  • A nurse will call you within 7-10 days to check on your progress. You may find it helpful to keep a daily diary to record questions, i.e. medications, activity, diet, incisions, temperature, and weight. This diary may be helpful when the nurse calls and when you visit your doctor.
  • Your surgeon may wish a follow-up appointment in 6-8 weeks after discharge. This will either be given to you at discharge or the office will contact you later.
  • You should also see your cardiologist in 4-6 weeks time. Your family doctor’s office should make that appointment for you.
