First Visit
Your initial appointment will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. Often simple surgeries can be performed the same day as the consultation. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan will 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:
- Please fill out the Online Patient Registration Form.
- Your surgical referral slip and any X-rays if applicable
- A list of medications you are presently taking
- Bring both your dental or medical insurance cards. If your insurance company does not issue cards, you must present the ID (typically the SSN) for the insured party. This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims.
IMPORTANT: All patients under the age of 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the consultation visit.
A pre-operative consultation and examination is mandatory for all patients. Nearly all patients will undergo IV anesthesia for surgery. In all instances, Please have nothing to eat or drink 6 hours prior to your surgery. You will also need an adult to drive you home.
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 medication (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. If there is not enough time, please pick them up and bring them to our office. If additional films are necessary, they can be taken at our facility.
