Consultation

Your initial appointment will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and probable treatment. Occasionally, surgery can be done the same day as the consultation. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan will typically 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 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the consultation visit.

A pre-operative consultation and physical examination are mandatory for patients undergoing IV general anesthesia for surgery. Please have nothing to eat or drink (6) hours prior to your surgery. You will also need an adult to drive you home.

Please advise our office of pre-existing medical conditions that may be of concern prior to surgery (i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, malignant hyperthermia, etc.)

X-Ray

If your dentist or physician has taken a panorex or other x-rays, you may request that they forward or e-mail 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 can be taken at our facility.
