First Visit Resources

What to expect, what to bring, and how we spend that first hour together.

Your first appointment is an examination and a conversation. We review your history, look carefully, and talk through options before anything is done.

When the plan is straightforward, treatment can often begin the same day. A complex medical history or a larger reconstruction may need a second visit – we will say so clearly.

Patients under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

  • Bring a photo ID and insurance card
  • A list of current medications
  • Recent x-rays, if you have them
