First Visit
Your initial appointment will usually consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. Occasionally, surgery can be performed the same day as the consultation. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan, or an insurance pre-authorization may require an evaluation and a second appointment to provide treatment on another day.
Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:
- Your surgical referral slip and any x-rays if applicable.
- We ask that your referring doctor email both you and our office ([email protected]) any x-rays.
- A list of medications you are presently taking.
- If you have medical or dental insurance, please let us know in advance. This will save time and allow us to help process any claims.
IMPORTANT: All patients under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the consultation visit.
Please alert the office if you have a medical condition that may be of concern prior to surgery (i.e., diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, etc.) or if you are currently taking any medications (i.e., heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.).
X-Rays
If your dentist or physician has taken x-rays you may request that they forward them to our office at [email protected], and also have them email yourself as well. If there is enough time, please pick them up and bring them to our office. If additional films are necessary they can be taken at our facility.
