Your First Visit
Be sure to review all important patient information, including payment policies and anesthesia options, before your appointment in Metairie or Gretna, LA.
Your First Oral Surgery Visit
Most of the time, the first appointment to our office includes an oral evaluation and a consultation. We’ll get to know you, help you understand your diagnosis, and discuss your options for treatment. We will also explain your options for anesthesia. This appointment is intended to ask any questions you may have.
It is important that you bring the following items with you to your first visit:
- Referral slip from your dentist
- Any applicable X-rays and list of current medications
- Medical and/or dental insurance information
- Driver’s license or another government-issued ID If you are under 18 years of age, a parent or guardian is required to attend the consultation visit with you.
We care about your safety. Please alert us prior to surgery if you have any medical condition that may be of concern, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, or rheumatic fever. Let us know about any medications you are taking, such as heart medication, aspirin, or anticoagulant therapy (blood thinners). Please contact our office at any time if you have any questions or concerns before or after your first appointment.
Financial Information
For your convenience, we accept Visa®, Mastercard®, Cash, Check, and CareCredit®. We deliver the finest care at the most reasonable cost to our patients; therefore, estimated co-payments are due at the time service is rendered unless other arrangements have been made in advance. If you have questions regarding your account or our financial policy, please contact us.
Insurance Information
We will be glad to assist you in the submission of your insurance claim, but payment of your account is your responsibility. You are responsible for payment of the balance of your account, regardless of payment from insurance, after 60 days from your initial date of treatment. Insurance coverage is not a guarantee of payment! The amount quoted as your co-payment should not be relied upon to be your total balance due.
