When you come to your initial visit, you will be greeted and handed a new patient form for you to fill out. Please fill out Pages 1 & 2 and sign where needed. Please do not forget to fill out your full address, along with referring doctor information as it is integral since we use that information to then contact the referring doctor with post-evaluation notes. After you finish filling the form out, you will be asked to enter your room. Here you will be seated by one of our staff. The doctor will then come in and introduce himself and speak to you regarding why you have been referred or why you decided to visit. Probing measurements will then be taken. These measurements are taken to see if there is any attachment loss or loss of tooth supporting tissues. Although the instrument looks scary, these measurements are not painful, and are done quickly. With these measurements the Doctor can see what needs to be done and will assign you a treatment plan to follow. If the Doctor feels it is necessary, X-rays may also be taken.

NOTICE We don't want you to be scared, but if you are, don't worry! Our office has a clinical psychologist, Dr. Manrique-Reichard on staff. She will provide you with stress management and relaxation techniques. This will ease your mind and worries and may enhance recovery. Please tell our secretary if you have any of these concerns so that we may schedule you for relaxation prior to your treatment plan.
