Your First Visit
Your relationship with Dr. McCauley begins with a complete medical history review and dental evaluation. A series of current radiographs (x-rays) are necessary for a comprehensive dental evaluation. For our patients undergoing surgical procedures or those requiring IV anesthesia, a pre-operative appointment is necessary to review medical history, obtain baseline vital signs (BP, pulse, heart rhythm, etc.) draw blood for lab analysis and consult with your treating physician, it may be necessary to obtain medical clearance before comprehensive work can begin.
At this consultation or pre-operative appointment, it is important to communicate opening with Dr. McCauley and Beverly, the surgical coordinator. It helps them to evaluate and appreciate any special concerns. By reviewing the radiographs and performing a detailed clinical examination, Dr. McCauley can provide treatment options and limitation, and explain advantages or disadvantages of the proposed treatment options. As a Dental Professional, Dr. McCauley has established a terrific reputation for his candor, honesty, and expertise.
