  • Dr. Cook works by appointment which provides efficient scheduling.
  • Someone will always be available to schedule an appointment for you during our regular office hours.
  • For your convenience, we try to do surgery at the same appointment as consultation, however, sometimes consultation is preferred on a date prior to surgery.
  • When making an appointment please let us know the telephone number where you can be reached during the day, as well as your home telephone number.
  • If you are unable to keep your appointment or if you are going to be late please call the office as soon as possible. This courtesy allows us to be timely and efficient in our office service to other patients.

Please assist us at the time of your initial visit to the office by providing the following information:

  • Your referral slip and x-rays from your referring dentist. If your referring dentist has taken recent x-rays, you may request that they be forwarded to our office. If additional films are necessary, they will be taken at our office.
  • Because certain procedures are considered by insurance companies to be medical in nature, if you have coverage from a medical plan, please bring any necessary referral slips from your primary care physician. In the unlikely event Dr. Cook is not available, he will have made arrangements with another oral and maxillofacial surgeon to cover emergencies.

Should an emergency arise, call the office immediately. Advise the receptionist of the situation.

In most cases, our professional office staff can help you with your questions. If the doctor is needed, he will return your call promptly.

Surgical Fee and Payment:

  • Our fees are determined by the complexity of the procedure.
  • We encourage immediate payment for services at the time services are rendered.
  • To assist you in your payment, we offer the availability of all major charge cards.
  • You are responsible for fees charged for treatment regardless of your insurance coverage.
  • We request that each patient bring complete insurance information at the time of surgery and our staff will submit the insurance claim on your behalf. We will assist you in obtaining the maximum benefits available to you under the terms of your policy.
  • Together, we will make a reasonable and appropriate financial arrangement. May we support each other in honoring those arrangements.
  • If any questions or problems arise regarding your account please call our receptionist. Many times a simple telephone call will avert misunderstandings.

Filling Out Forms

  • On your first visit the receptionist will ask you to fill out a Patient Information and Health History Questionnaire. 
  • This questionnaire is a screening device identifying potential health concerns.
  • Please fill out all forms accurately and completely (health, personal, billing, etc.)

Length Of Appointment

We understand the importance of your time and we will make every effort to be prompt, however, due to the nature of our practice and the use of general anesthesia, it is at times very difficult to stay on schedule.

Please be assured that Dr. Cook will provide the same careful attention during your treatment.

If delay occurs, we appreciate your patience.

We wish our patients to be so completely satisfied with our services that they are anxious to tell their friends about us. WE COULDN'T ASK FOR A GREATER COMPLIMENT!
