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, especially in the case of emergencies. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan will require an evaluation and then a subsequent appointment to provide treatment on another day.
Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:
– Your referral letter and any OPG (oral x-ray) if applicable
– A list of medications you are presently taking
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 anaesthesia for surgery. Please have nothing to eat or drink six hours prior to your surgery. You will also need an adult to drive you home.
Please alert the office if you have a medical condition that may be of concern prior to surgery (e.g. diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, etc.) or if you are currently taking any medication (e.g., heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.).
