Consultations

Your initial appointment will 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 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:

Your surgical referral slip and any X-rays if applicable
A complete and current list of medications you are presently taking and any other pertinent medical information, including your dentist and physician’s name.
If you have medical or dental insurance, please bring your insurance cards and subscriber information. 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 every visit.

While in many cases the pre-operative consultation and surgery can be done in the same visit, a pre-operative consultation and physical examination may be required for patients undergoing IV anesthesia for surgery. Please have nothing to eat or drink 8 hours prior to your surgery. You will also need an adult and their vehicle to remain on the premises during your surgery and 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 herbal remedies, vitamins or medications (i.e. heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.)

X-Rays

If your dentist or physician has taken x-rays, please pick them up and bring them to our office. If additional films are necessary, they can be taken at our facility.
