Call our clinic at least one day in advance for an appointment. If you have insurance we will look into your coverage and benefits at this time. Your appointment is confidential and you will be given a code number so no one can find out information about you without your permission.
If you have a morning appointment do not have anything to eat or drink after midnight the night before your surgery.
If you have an afternoon appointment eat a light breakfast before 7:00 am. NO dairy products, NO meat. Do not eat or drink after 7:00 am.
Payment is due before the procedure. We accept credit cards (VISA, Master Card, American Express, Discover) or money order. The credit card holder must be present to sign. We do NOT accept personal checks.
Bring any documents requested (insurance card, claim form, pay stub, student ID, public aide card, etc.)
Bring a maxi-pad and an extra pair of underwear.
Wear socks, a short-sleeve loose T-shirt, and warm comfortable clothing.
Do NOT take aspirin products from now until two weeks after your procedure. Non-aspirin products such as Ibuprofen or Tylenol are fine. Aspirin products trigger heavier bleeding.
Please shower on the morning of your surgery. Do not wear make-up, jewelry, nail polish, contact lenses, false nails, retainers, and/or tongue piercings. Dentures/retainers will need to be removed before surgery.
You will need to have someone bring you to the clinic, stay with you, and drive you home after the procedure. Please make these arrangements ahead of time. You may NOT drive after the procedure.
We prefer you bring only one other person with you. No children are permitted.
