First Visit
If your dentist or physician referred you directly to one of our surgeons, let us know so that we can schedule your appointment with that surgeon. If you do not have a preference, you will be scheduled with the doctor who has the first available appointment, or who has special expertise in your area of need. Every effort will be made to accommodate your schedule when arranging appointments.
Please bring the name and dosage of any medication you are currently taking. Also, if you have any x-rays, test results, referral letters or other information regarding the condition you are seeing us for, please bring those documents with you.
Only persons 18 years old and older may legally give consent for a diagnostic or surgical procedure. All patients under 18 years old must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
If you wish to have your procedure done with a local anesthetic only, you may choose to have it done immediately following your consultation, or at a later date. Please let us know your preference so that we can schedule accordingly.
If you wish to have intravenous sedation or general anesthesia for your procedure, it is customary to see you first for a consultation. The doctor will review your medical history and discuss the different anesthetic options with you. It is alright to eat before this first appointment, as your surgery will be scheduled after this consultation has been done.
