Meet The Doctor - Office Policies
Appointment Policy
We do realize most people seeking orthodontic treatment have other important obligations during the day. When orthodontic treatment begins, each patient is seen every few weeks, and sometimes appointments will conflict with their busy schedules. Our office schedule is quite complex, your late arrival can pose a problem. In fairness to the other scheduled patients, we may not be able to fit you into and therefore find it necessary to reschedule your appointment.
| We have setup an automated appointment scheduling system to help us serve you in the most efficient manner. Here is what we want expect: |
 |
want to see you on time for your appointment |
|
We want to have adequate time during each appointment to do the necessary procedures |
|
We wish to answer questions and update your treatment progress |
In addition, we will work with you to schedule around your school or work hours as much as possible. When you’re ready to schedule your first appointment, please contact our Whitby office at 905.444.9449 or Ajax office at 905.427.4280.
Rescheduling Appointments
We realize that once in a while unforeseen circumstances arise which necessitate a change in appointments. When patients occasionally overlook an appointment, we do our best to reschedule the appointment as soon as possible. Missed appointments or numerous changes will inevitably result in an extension of your treatment time. We kindly request that you notify us, if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. By doing so, we are able to offer your appointment time to another patient and reschedule you.
Patient Records
Please advise us of any changes to your address, phone number, or referring dentist. This will allow us to update your information in our records. No referrals from the family dentist are necessary to arrange an appointment for an orthodontic consultation appointment.
