Your First Visit to Our Orthodontic Practice
Thank you for considering our office for your orthodontic needs. We realize you have many choices and appreciate the confidence you have placed in our office, staff and doctor. We have been proudly servicing the community for over 40 years. We are a quality-driven, patient-centered practice that will truly make you feel like you are part of the family.
Just give us a call to set a convenient date for your first visit. Or even better, fill out the Appointment Request Form or e-mail us, and we'll do the rest. We will send you a welcome packet filled with literature about our office and orthodontics so you will know what to expect at your first visit. We will contact you to set up your complimentary consultation at your earliest convenience.
At Your First Visit
You will be greeted by one of our treatment facilitators who will show you around the office. After your tour, we will ask that you join us for a personalized, COMPLIMENTARY examination.
To expedite the process and provide Dr. Statler with helpful information about you, please fill out one of the appropriate forms from the Patient Forms page prior to your visit. For your convenience, you can complete and click the "Submit" button at the bottom of the page, print and bring the completed forms to our office, or fax them to us at 561-368-3688.
During the exam we will take imaging photographs that will allow Dr. Statler to do a detailed diagnostic work up of your facial structure, jaw and teeth. She will also look at a special digital X-ray to evaluate your growth and development. She will review these records with you and discuss a treatment plan that is specific to your goals and needs. There is plenty of time to discuss your concerns and answer any questions after your detailed consultation.
We work very hard to accommodate our patients' schedules. Customer service is our focus, and we are constantly trying to improve your access to care. We have extended our office hours and offer flexible time slots to make more appointments available when you need them.
We strive to provide you with effective communication. Our first visit is designed to answer all of your dental questions, help you maximize your insurance benefits and to congratulate you on making such an important investment into your future well-being. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you, and we welcome you into our office family.
Financial Considerations
Orthodontic treatment is an important and often necessary investment in the overall dental, medical and psychological well-being for children and adults. Financial consideration should not be an obstacle to obtaining this important health service. We understand that different people have different financial needs and obligations, therefore we provide several payment options. Our goal is to make paying for your orthodontic treatment as convenient and manageable for your family as possible.
- Initial and Monthly Payments: This Payment Plan is a Contracted Agreement With Our Office, Requiring an Initial Down Payment, Followed by Monthly Payments Spread Over the Term of Your Anticipated Treatment Time. The Initial Payment is Due on or Before Your First Appointment, in Order Not to Delay the Beginning of Treatment. We Do Not Charge Interest on This Budgeted Plan.
- Payment in Full: For Those Patients Who Wish to Pay in Full at the Time Treatment Starts, an Administrative Courtesy Reduction From the Total Fee is Given. One Payment in Full Reduces Our Administrative Costs, and We Are Happy to Share These Savings With You.
- Insurance: Our Office is Happy to Work With Your Insurance Company to Help You Receive Your Maximum Benefits in the Timeliest Fashion. In Most Cases, We Are Able to Accept Direct Payment From the Insurance Company.
You may pay with cash, checks, MasterCard, Visa, Discover, American Express or by checking debit. Many patients choose to pay online by coming to this website, activating My Account Manager, and following the directions for payment.
