First Visit

Consultation

We consider your first appointment with our practice an important educational visit for both the patient and the practice. We use this time to truly listen to your concerns and expectations. We take the necessary time to educate you with accurate information about your condition and effective treatment plans. Dr. Calat will personally discuss the surgical and anesthetic procedures involved in your upcoming procedure and will provide you with a custom treatment plan. Many of our patients have found that this personal touch and attention to detail provides the necessary comfort to accomplish your required treatment. Most procedures can be completed during the initial visit. For more extensive procedures, additional visits may be required.

Important

A parent or guardian is required during the initial consultation if the patient is under the age of 18.
