Patient Information

Your Visit

Your initial appointment will consist of a consultation explaining your referral and treatment options. Occasionally, surgery can be performed the same day as the consultation. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan will require an evaluation and a second appointment to provide treatment on another day.

Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:

• Your surgical referral and any radiographs / x-rays if available.
• A list of all medications and supplements you are presently taking.
• BC Medical Care Card
• If you have medical or dental insurance, including CDCP, bring the necessary forms, cards and or information. This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims.

IMPORTANT: All patients under the age of 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the consultation visit. 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, etc.) or if you are currently taking any medication (i.e., heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.).

A preoperative consultation and physical examination is mandatory for patients undergoing IV anesthesia for surgery. Please review the IV Sedation Instructions prior to your appointment.
