There was some uncertainty about my surgery date due to my oncologist surgeon wanting to meet with me again to discuss some things that would postpone my surgery date. Dr. Losken immediately called her and explained my desires, and she agreed to move forward with the current surgery date without another appointment. I also had some questions after the appointment, and he called to answer my questions.
