First Visit

Your initial appointment will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. Occasionally, surgery can be performed the same day as the consultation. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan will require an evaluation and a second appointment to provide the surgical 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 from your doctor.
• Minors (anyone under the age of 18) must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
• A list of medications you are presently taking.
• Please bring a valid form of photo identification.
• Please bring all your medical and dental insurance information.  This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims.
• All of our patient registration forms can be found HERE.  If you are able please fill out these online forms prior to your appointment.

IMPORTANT:

• All patients under the age of 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the consultation visit.
• A preoperative consultation and physical examination is mandatory for patients undergoing IV /General anesthesia for surgery. Please have nothing to eat or drink eight hours prior to your scheduled surgery. You will also need an adult to drive you home.
