Communicating with Patients

An open line of communication is the key in making any relationship mutually satisfying and beneficial. Therefore, we ask that any time you have a question or comment about any treatment (proposed or performed), fee for service, or about any member of our Team, please discuss it with us promptly and openly. Misunderstandings and/or lack of communication are the only obstacles to our continued friendship and professional relationship.

We believe in the theories of modern dental care which do not support the old premise of "When it hurts, fix it." Through proper preventive care and regular maintenance appointments, we believe that it is highly likely that most of our patients can expect to keep all of their teeth for all of their lives.

Our patients can expect from us:

• A high degree of professional skill and ability
• A clear understanding of the correct treatment at the correct time
• A safe and clean working environment
• A dedication to your oral health care
• A minimization of costly reconstructive work through proper preventive care
• The utmost effort to make visits as comfortable as possible
• Fees that are fair for the services provided

In return, we expect from our patients:

• Cooperation in making and keeping appointments
• A conscientious effort toward good oral hygiene
• Regular visits to maintain optimum oral health
• A definite arrangement for the payment of fees at the time of service
