I was seen by a Resident who was very thorough regarding my medical history, examination, and explanation of the problem, and answered my questions. I was very impressed. My doctor explained what had happened to my implant, a possible complication to be assessed via ultrasound. Surgery to remove Implant to follow. Very thorough.
