In order to insure quality orthodontic care, we find it helpful if our parents and patients understand the manner in which we schedule appointments . We value your time and make every effort to stay on schedule. We have put much effort and time into designing a scheduling system to serve our patient families and expedite treatment. • Please help us by arriving promptly for your appointment. If you are late, it may be necessary to reschedule your appointment.
• Longer appointments are scheduled in the mornings and early afternoons. By doing this, we try to accommodate the maximum number of patients in the afternoon.
• Once braces are placed, regular adjustment appointments will be necessary once every 6-10 weeks .
• In order to be fair to all patients, we alternate "prime time" and "non-prime time" appointments. Prime time is early morning, or later in the afternoon. If you prefer to come in during a quieter time (between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.), we will be happy to accommodate you.
• Rescheduling missed or cancelled appointments can be difficult. "Prime time" appointments will not be available for several weeks; therefore, rescheduling a missed or cancelled appointment will be required during "non-prime time" hours. Your appointments need to be made and kept at the interval that Dr. Weber has requested in order to keep your treatment on schedule.
• Chronic missed appointments will extend treatment time.
• In the case of emergencies such as pain, swelling or bleeding, we will schedule a "priority" appointment to address the patient's discomfort.
• Please retain your appointment ticket. Our courtesy reminder calls and e-mails can be interrupted by phone repair or failed electricity due to storms.
