Your First Visit
Your initial appointment begins with a thorough consultation and physical exam. We’ll review your medical history, discuss treatment options, and gather any prior X-rays. In many cases, your procedure can even be scheduled the same day if your plan is straightforward. Otherwise, a follow-up visit will be arranged.
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 the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the consultation visit.
A preoperative consultation and physical examination are mandatory for patients undergoing IV anesthesia for surgery. Please have nothing to eat or drink eight hours prior to your surgery. You will also need an adult to drive you home.
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.) or if you are currently taking any medications (i.e., heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.).
