Your initial appointment will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. Occasionally, a procedure may be done 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. This is for your safety.
Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:
- Your surgical referral slip and any x-rays if applicable.
- Completed forms you will find under the new patient registration.
- A list of medications you are currently taking.
- If you have medical or dental insurance, bring necessary completed forms. 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 legal guardian at the consultation visit, on the day of surgery, and at the post-operative appointment.
A pre-operative consultation and physical examination are mandatory for patients undergoing IV anesthesia for surgery. You will also need an adult to drive you home. Patients are required to abstain from eating or drinking after midnight the night prior to surgery.
If you have a medical condition, please alert the office prior to surgery (i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, etc.) or if you are currently taking prescription medication (i.e. heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.)
