My wife has had to foot surgeries this year in February and at the end of June. Things are not going great and she wanted to discuss this with our GP. However when she called his office staff said that she could not have an appointment with him until 90 days after the surgery? She doesn't want him to comment on it through security think she just wants to discuss recovery plans since he is a sports medicine doctor. She also has an upcoming annual physical which will also be within the 90 day window. I've never heard of a requirement like this before, is there such a requirement?
Also, what would she have to do to make an appointment with a 2nd orthopedic surgeon for a 2nd opinion, when the 90 day rule also apply for this?
