Office Hours
and Appointments
Our
usual office hours are from 7:30am to 5:30 pm, Monday thru Thursday.
Our office hours are by appointment. We are closed for lunch
from 1 to 2 pm.
To give
the best and most efficient care we must work within an appointment
system. We plan carefully to reserve the appropriate time necessary
to provide each patient with optimal dental care. We make every
effort to honor all time commitments and request that our patients
extend the same courtesy to us.
If for any
reason you are unable to keep your appointment and must be late,
please notify our office immediately so that this time may be
extended to another patient needing to receive care.
New Patients
New
patients are welcomed! We always appreciate your referrals.
The confidence you show by referring your family and friends
is most gratifying. This is our best indication that you share
our excitement in providing quality, gentle care in a relaxed,
professional atmosphere.
Thank you. We really appreciate your confidence.
Emergency Care
We
know that emergency situations happen, both from pain and injury.
When an emergency occurs, we request you call the office before
coming. Calls after office hours are received by our voice mail.
Your emergency calls are always given our prompt consideration.
Our phone number is 870-0550.
Fees and Payments
As
a total service and in effort to keep costs down while maintaining
a high level of professional, quality care, we offer the following
payment schedules:
1) Fees are expected to be paid at the time professional services
are rendered.
2) For major services, requiring several visits, we require
a deposit of one half at the beginning of treatment and the
balance at the time the treatment is completed.
3) Visa, MasterCard, and American Express are accepted and welcomed.
If there
are special circumstances that prevent you from paying within
one of the above schedules, arrangements may be discussed with
our office administration. We prefer you call before your scheduled
appointment to arrange satisfactory payment arrangements rather
than avoid necessary treatment or regular cleaning and check-ups.
Dental Insurance
For our
patients with dental insurance the following Insurance Guidelines
have been enforced for use as a courtesy to you:
1) We will be glad to file your primary insurance claim for
you, at no additionally charge. Insurance forms must be filled
out, signed, and turned into our office on the day of your dental
appointment.
2) An Insurance Handbook and Schedule of Dentists should be
brought to our office on New Patient visits.
3) The patient must pay their estimated portion on the day of
service.
4) The patient remains responsible for any fees the Insurance
Company may deny or any portion uncovered. Please remember that
you have a contract with the Insurance Company and our office
has a contract with you, therefore, we look to you for payment
if your Insurance does not pay within 30 days.
X-Rays
In
our office, we take only the necessary dental x-rays to do a
complete and comprehensive examination.
