ABOUT OUR PRACTICE
Scheduling Appointments
How to Fit Orthodontics into a Busy Schedule
Most people seeking orthodontic treatment have other important obligations during the day, usually work or school. When active treatment begins, each patient is seen every few weeks, and some of these appointments may conflict with work or school schedules. We have devoted considerable time and effort into designing our scheduling system. First, we want to see you on time for your appointment. Second, we want to have adequate time during each appointment to do the necessary procedures. Third, we wish to answer questions and update your treatment progress. In addition, we will do our best to work with you to schedule around your school or work hours whenever possible.
The Plan
Our goal is to serve the patient in a prompt and efficient manner as we know your time is valuable. We request that you arrive for your appointment on time.
Longer appointments, which are occasional, are scheduled during school and work hours and shorter appointments are scheduled either before or after school. In this way, an entire afternoon is not committed to one or two patients, but rather is scheduled to accommodate as many families as possible for after-school or work appointments. If you should ever wish to come to the office during a quieter time, please ask to schedule an appointment during school or work hours.
Some appointments are blissfully short. During your treatment there are times when the adjustments are completed quickly, even though they may be quite technical. We have tried to design treatment methods that limit your inconvenience.
Because the schedule is carefully crafted, your late arrival can pose a problem. In fairness to the other scheduled patients, we may not be able to accomplish your entire prescheduled procedure and then find it necessary to reschedule your appointment. In addition, a patient arriving with broken appliances that we are unaware of may also need to be rescheduled.
Rescheduling Appointments
We realize that once in a while unforeseen circumstances arise which necessitate a change in appointments, or cause you to overlook an appointment. We will do our best to reschedule your appointment as soon as possible. However in order to avoid a delay in treatment, it may become necessary to reschedule an after-school or work appointment to one during school or work hours. Missed appointments, or numerous appointment changes will inevitably result in an extension of your treatment time.
