    Long-term care is a key part of surgical success. While some practices stop seeing after a set time, we are happy to offer long-term follow-up as a fundamental part of good care. I see patients regularly post-operatively and maintain close contact with their referring doctors and allied health providers. If patients prefer to follow up primarily with their GP, we support that, and always welcome them back if and when any issues arise. Ongoing follow-up ensures optimal outcomes and helps manage lifestyle changes and any complications that may arise.
