Does a woman that has had a hysterectomy need a pelvic exam and pap test?

My dr. frequently mentions I need a pelvic & pap test, at least every 6 months he or the nurse will say something about this. I then say I have had surgery and they say oh. The last time I received a message on my phone which included the warning that I needed this exam, and when I called back the office was closed and I asked if I needed to have this since I had had surgery. Have not gotten an answer.
