follow-up visit
Scheduled patient return
A follow-up visit is a return appointment after an initial encounter, typically in medical or professional contexts.
A doctor schedules a follow-up visit to check healing progress or treatment effectiveness: Come back for a follow-up visit in two weeks.
The term applies beyond healthcare—salespeople make follow-up visits to potential clients, and social workers conduct follow-up visits to monitor situations.
