We consider your first appointment with our practice an important
educational visit for both the patient and the practice. We
use this time to inform our patients of items of interest
as well as gain additional knowledge on your current conditions.
Discussion of the surgical and anesthetic procedures involved
in your proceeding arrangements are handled in a thorough
manner, giving you a sensation of comfort for the work needed
to accomplish the treatment you require. Most procedures can
be completed during the initial visit. For more extensive
procedures, additional visits may be required.
Important
A parent or guardian is required during
the initial consultation
if the patient is under the age of 18.
