For Patients

On Your First Visit

In most cases, a patient’s first visit to our office involves meeting with the physician and reviewing the child’s medical history. After a physical examination, the doctor will then explain his recommendations. If surgery is recommended, the physician will outline when it should be performed and what to expect following surgery. If any tests need to be performed prior to the surgery, our staff will assist in scheduling them.

Following surgery, the doctor will visit the child and family and discuss follow up care. We ask that you call the office after surgery to schedule a follow up visit.

Please print the Patient Information Form and the Health History form for your child’s consultation. Please complete and bring to your appointment. Please review our Privacy Policy to learn more about how your medical information may be used and disclosed.
