During recovery from "open right l2-l5 transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion and decompression", i would like to know how important a family doctor would be to my recovery.

Very important: In many aspects, from possible need for further treatment for same condition, diagnosing and treating new, acute conditions to prevention and screening. The most important would be being able to coordinate further care and needs by connecting to inpatient settings and specialists.
