General Information

Our office is open Monday through Friday from 8 am until 5 pm.  We will always make every effort to schedule your appointment as promptly as possible.  If you have pain or an emergency situation, every attempt will be made to see you that day.  We have time slots allocated specifically to accommodate patients in pain.

If your dentist or physician has taken x-rays, you may request that they forward them to our office.  We will routinely take the necessary films at our office at no extra cost to you.

Scheduling an appointment is typically done over the phone, an interaction that we consider vital to enabling our patients to receive the most appropriate care.  Our front office staff will ask a few questions regarding pain level, presence of swelling, and current health/medication history.  This information will help us to not only schedule the appropriate amount of time for your visit, but also prepares us to address the physical and emotional needs for the patient.

At the time you make your appointment, please alert the office if you have any special needs requiring attention, including medical conditions that may be of concern prior to your visit.

If you have been advised by your physician or dentist to use antibiotic premedication because of mitral valve prolapse (MVP), heart murmur, hip, knee cardiac or other prosthesis, or if you have rheumatic heart disease, please make sure you are on the appropriate antibiotic on the day of your appointment.  If there is a question, please call our office prior to your appointment.
