Patient Info > First Visit
First Visit
Your first visit will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. Occasionally, treatment can be performed the same day as the consultation. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan will require an evaluation and a second appointment to provide treatment on another day.
If you have health insurance, please be sure to bring your insurance card with you. If we are unable to verify eligibility, you will be responsible for the charges for services provided. Please help us to help you avoid such unnecessary inconveniences.
If your insurance policy requires that you obtain a pre-certification or a referral, you must do so prior to the time of your appointment. Failure to provide a valid referral will result in unnecessary charges. Remember: referrals are your responsibility! Please keep track of your referrals. If you have any questions, our diligent staff will be glad to help. To find out if you need a referral, simply call the Member Services department of your insurance.
Payments for cosmetic procedures are due in full at the time of your visit. Please note that cosmetic procedures are NOT covered by insurance.
We suggest that you schedule your appointments as far in advance as possible to ensure availability. For initial appointments, please arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment in order to complete all necessary paperwork.
IMPORTANT: A parent or guardian must accompany all patients under 18 at the consultation visit.
