The first time you visit our office as a new patient, we will need to make sure that we have all of your personal contact and medical history information.  You will usually receive your new patient paperwork in the mail before your visit.  Please fill out your paperwork before you arrive for your appointment.  If you have not completed your paperwork prior to your arrival, please arrive at least 15 minutes early for your appointment. 

Please bring any significant records with you regarding your medical history – this applies especially to patients who have had previous surgeries (i.e. cleft lip or palate repairs, breast implants, and breast cancer) and those with chronic medical conditions. You will also need to bring a complete list of the names and doses of any medications that you are currently taking. 

If we do not have all of the necessary information, your appointment may have to be rescheduled.  For more information about our office, please click here.

Once you have been called back for your appointment, you will first spend time with our nurse.  During this time, you may be asked to elaborate on your medical history information. You will receive paperwork regarding the surgery of your interest; you may take this home for review.  You may also watch a PowerPoint presentation containing information related to your surgery.

When you see the doctor, he will discuss the procedure with you and answer any questions you may have.  He will also evaluate whether or not you are a good candidate for surgery.  Please note that patients with certain medical conditions may not be eligible for elective cosmetic procedures.
