First Visit

The initial consultation is very important, so that you may discuss with your surgeon your particular diagnosis and treatment options.

Medical conditions should be brought to your doctor's attention (high blood pressure, blood clotting problems, tendency to form excessive scars, etc.)

Because a lot of the procedures are done as a team with your dentist, dental specialist, or family doctor we usually require that you be referred to our offices by a professional, with the exception of patients seeking only facial cosmetic treatments. You may have your referral slip and x-rays (if applicable) sent to us or you may bring them along with you. In many cases, an x-ray of some sort will be taken at the time of your consultation.

When you arrive, please check in with the reception staff. If not already done, you may be given some information to fill in, or will review it with a staff member. Please bring any insurance information so that we may expedite your reimbursements.

Be prepared to provide all information about medications on your health questionnaire, including any prescribed, over-the-counter, herbal remedies, vitamins, natural products and alternative medicines. It is very important to advise us if you are a smoker, since this may affect the healing of any oral or facial surgery.
If you are seeking facial cosmetic evaluation or treatments, note that these procedures are very individualized, therefore your surgeon and his staff will explain to you the different types of surgeries, injections, laser treatments, or other procedures that may best benefit you. Photographs and x-rays may be taken for study, and sometimes another meeting may be required to review the results of the first assessment and work with you to arrive at the desired treatment plan.

It is often advisable to bring someone with you to help recall details of the appointment or ask questions you may not think of at the time.

*All patients under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the consultation.

We encourage you to return to your referring doctor after our specialized care is complete.
