I am nearly at my 5 surgery date and was wondering if Dr. H has a list of standard tests he likes. Everything has changed so much since I had my surgery and he does so many different things. I am going to ask when I call to make my appointment but am just wondering what everyone else had done. Thanks for all the replies.
