Welcome to our office:

We pride ourselves in providing a friendly, professional environment where you and your child can count on getting the highest quality of care. Our office is one of the few orthodontic offices in our area to be completely digital. This enables us to better track patient progress as well as providing the patients with the most sophisticated orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning techniques available.

Upon entering our office the reception staff will welcome you and have you log in to our sign-in computer. We pride ourselves on staying on time, if you are ever waiting longer then 10 minutes beyond your scheduled appointment time please check with the front desk to make sure we know you are here.

After checking- in please take a minute to brush your teeth. We provided all our patients with a disposable toothbrush and toothpaste to use at each visit. Our reception area is designed with our patients in mind. There are plenty of magazines for children and their families, as well as televisions for the entertainment of our guests.

At your first visit we will conduct a thorough and comprehensive initial exam. If necessary, a digital panoramic x-ray and photographs may be taken. The initial exam is always complimentary, as our doctor firmly believes that the patients and their families must fully understand the benefits of the treatment that we provide for them. An educated patient is always a happy patient.

In most cases, we do have the ability to start treatment on the same day as the initial consultation. This is a great bonus to those who are pressed for time and would like to start treatment as soon as possible.

Every aspect of our office has been designed with you and your child in mind. We know that you will enjoy your visit with us!

Scheduling Appointments
9:00am-1:00pm Non Prime-Time
1:00-2:00pm Lunch
2:00pm-6:00pm PRIME TIME

Our schedule is carefully crafted to ensure that every patient's appointment is supervised and directed by a doctor. In this way, you can be certain that you will receive the highest quality care at every appointment.

What is PRIME TIME?
90% of our patient either work or attend school, and prefer not to miss work or school for their orthodontic visits. For this reason we reserve the hours towards the end of the day, after school and work (PRIME-TIME) to accommodate as many patients as possible.

Scheduling Appointments:
Due to the nature of orthodontics, regular visits at specific intervals are required for efficient progress. Therefore, we recommend scheduling your next visit prior to leaving the office. Appointments during PRIME TIME are for shorter appliance checks, short wire changes and progress check-ups. It is necessary to schedule longer appointments during NON-PRIME TIME for placing or removing braces, long wire changes, repairs and emergencies. If you have several questions or want to come in at a quieter time, we suggest an appointment between 9:00-1:00. If the patient is a student, these appointments can be arranged during a study period, lunchtime, and recess. Unfortunately, we are unable to schedule all appointment after school.

Late For an Appointment
Sometimes our patients are late due to traffic, etc. We will always try to accommodate you, should the schedule permit. However, you may have to wait until there is time in the schedule to ensure that we do not run late for patients who have arrived on time.

Rescheduling Appointment
We realize that once in awhile, unforeseen circumstances arise that necessitate a change in appointments, or cause you to overlook an appointment. However, since most patients have scheduled their next appointment in advance, we strongly encourage you to call our office as soon as possible in the event you need to reschedule. It is very important to monitor progress regularly in active treatment. All changed or missed appointments should be rescheduled within two to three weeks of the original appointment. Our office will make every effort to help you in this process. Please do not wait several weeks for another PRIME TIME appointment. We would be happy to alert you of openings in our schedule if you would like to be placed on our "Appointment Call List" please let us know.
