First Visit

Your initial appointment will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options.  This evaluation costs $125.  Be advised that approximately 50% of insurances do not cover this initial visit.  If X-rays need to be done, there is an additional charge.

Occasionally, surgery can be performed the same day as the consultation. More often, a second appointment is required and treatment will be provided 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 your insurance information. 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 all visits.

A preoperative consultation and physical examination is mandatory for patients undergoing IV anesthesia for surgery. 

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 medications (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 will be taken at our facility.
