He was overall friendly but I would have liked more postop instructions other than look at the paper they give you.

He was overall friendly but I would have liked more postop instructions other than look at the paper they give you. He didnt give me any instructions after removing stitches on how to minimize scarring. He also kept going on about my cholesterol. I told him that I have a plan with my PCP which does not include statins because my numbers are going down. He then says well it's still high. He also told me how his numbers are lower and his doctor has him on statins. I said that's fine. My pcp and I have other plans. And then he goes well you should talk to your pcp. At this point I have him at least three times that I have spoken with my PCP. Anyways if you all have any instructions to minimize scarring, I would appreciate it.
