Only suggestion I have is that it would have been helpful to have received written directions regarding what to expect after the procedure: how much discomfort after anesthesia wore off, how long discomfort would last, etc. Dr. Johnston may have told me orally, but if he did, I was too anxious from the procedure to remember.
