I had been trying to get my follow up appointment since January since at procedure the dr said I should come back in 3 months. When I finally could get someone to get back with me there were no appts until May ( 2 months later). I suggest scheduling follow up appointments after surgery or procedures and give them to patient upon discharge. This would alleviate the issue.
