Patient Information

First Visit

Your initial appointment will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. Occasionally, surgery can be performed on 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 list of medications you are presently taking. Along with your doctor’s name and phone numbers.
  • If you have medical or dental insurance please bring the cards with you. This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims.
  • Drivers License or Photo ID

IMPORTANT: All patients under the age of 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

A preoperative consultation and physical examination is mandatory for patients undergoing surgery. Please do not eat or drink eight hours prior to your surgery. You will also need an adult to stay in the office during the procedure 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 medication (i.e., heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, Bisphosphonate (Fosamax, Actonel, Boniva, Reclast, Zometa, etc.).

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 or have them emailed to . If additional films are necessary, they can be taken at our facility.
