Patient Resources
Our staff looks forward to meeting you and discussing your surgery goals. We strive to keep our appointments on time, as scheduled. Prior to your appointment, we encourage you to fill out the patient forms so that you can accelerate your check-in process. Please click here to download the forms, then print and complete the forms and bring them with you to your appointment. If you are unable to download our patient forms, then it is recommended that you arrive to your appointment between 15-30 minutes early so that you can have ample time to fill out the appropriate forms.
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.
- If you have medical or dental insurance, bring the necessary completed forms. This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims.
IMPORTANT: All patients under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the consultation visit.
A preoperative consultation and physical examination are mandatory for patients undergoing IV anesthesia for surgery. Please have nothing to eat after midnight prior to your surgery. You will also need an adult to stay in our office for the duration of your appointment and 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 those to our office.
