One of our certified medical professionals will monitor your recovery, change bandages and educate the caregiver in appropriate care techniques. Dr. Mentz is then provided with an update on your recovery, which allows him to address any potential concerns.
If you do not live in the Houston area you may take advantage of this complimentary service by staying in a hotel in Houston and return to your home after that service is provided.
