What to Expect at Your First Visit

Your first visit will consist of a consultation where we review your medical history, take x-rays, diagnose your symptoms, and prepare a treatment plan. Sometimes, surgery can occur the same day as your consultation, but that is not the norm. Typically, treatment will be provided at a second appointment. Here are the steps you can take to ensure that your initial appointment goes smoothly:

  • Bring your surgical referral slip and any x-rays if applicable.
  • Provide a list of medications you are currently taking.
  • If you have medical and/or dental insurance, bring the necessary completed forms. This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims.
  • Bring your drivers license.
  • If the patient is under 18, you must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
  • If your current dentist or medical provided has taken x-rays, please have those sent to our office ahead of your appointment.

Financing

For your convenience, we accept Cash, Check, Visa, and/or MasterCard. We deliver the finest care at the most reasonable cost to our patients, therefore payment is due at the time service is rendered unless other arrangements have been made in advance. If you have questions regarding your account, please contact us at Hickory Office Phone Number 828-327-7867 or Morganton Office Phone Number 828-433-4499.

Any remaining balance after your insurance has paid is your responsibility. Your prompt remittance is appreciated. We can make arrangements for a monthly payment plan, but that must be implemented prior to the actual procedure.
