Scheduling

Please call (310) 792-7775 to schedule an appointment. You can also contact us via email if you prefer

Our office is open Monday through Friday from 8am to 6pm and Saturdays by appointment. It is our goal to schedule you as quickly as possible, especially in an emergency situation.

Your appointment is the time reserved for you to receive the proper care from our team. We extend every effort to be on time, however, referral of emergency patients can cause delays to the schedule and your understanding is much appreciated.

Your First Visit

On your first visit, the doctor will conduct a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options, making sure that you are aware of the best possible plan for your oral surgery needs. The doctor will review pertinent x-rays and lab tests if needed. Time is taken to answer your questions; we want you to be well informed about your diagnosis and treatment options. A complex medical history, complex treatment plan, or the need for intravenous (IV) anesthesia will require a second appointment to provide treatment on another day.

A pre-operative consultation and physical examination is mandatory for patients undergoing I.V. anesthesia for surgery. Please alert the office if you have a medical condition that may be of concern prior to surgery. (i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, osteoporosis, etc.) or if you are on any medication (i.e. heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.)
