Another port question

The cardiac doctor approved Al for port. What doctor inserts it? Do you have to make appt with surgeon or can doctor who does bone marrow biopsy do it at same time while he is under sedation or some other doctor? We have appt with Emory doctor in the morning but am just wondering and knew one of you could tell me. Al is still weak but temp is low grade and he is up, dressed and at his computer so at least he feels good enough for that. Got to be thankful for even small things. 😏
