Absolutely call! They may or may not have time to give. If not, you may have to reschedule. This is as Dr. Mac said, to give each of you, the Dr. and you, time for your needs. It is important that you call, and if you must, reschedule....you will only hurt yourself if you don't have enough time for all your questions/concerns, etc. I am sure you would be upset should the Dr. say he doesn't have enough time.

I'm not a Dr. or any type of Medical Professional.  The information I share is based on what I have experienced personally or what I have learned.  PLEASE, NO PRIVATE EMAILS!
