Consultation

Your initial appointment will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and probable treatment. Generally, surgery is scheduled for another day. However, in some circumstances, treatment can be provided the same day of the consultation!
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 or identification card. 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 guardian at the consultation visit.

A pre-operative consultation and physical examination is mandatory for patients undergoing IV general anesthesia for surgery. Normally, surgery will be scheduled on another day. On the day of surgery, please have nothing to eat or drink 6 hours prior to your surgery. You will also need an adult to drive you home. This is not necessary on the day of consultation.

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.)

Radiographs (X-Ray)

If your dentist or physician has taken a current panorex or other 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 can be taken at our facility.
