follow-up visits

Subsequent medical appointments

Follow-up visits are return appointments after an initial consultation or treatment, typically in medical contexts.

A doctor schedules follow-up visits to monitor recovery, check test results, or adjust treatment: The surgeon wants to see you for follow-up visits at two weeks and six weeks.

The term applies similarly in social work, sales, and other fields where ongoing contact matters.
