Welcome to our practice!
I'd
like to introduce myself. My name is Dr. Steve
Kineret, orthodontist and I have a beautiful new
office just 1 block east of Hwy 65 and Blue Oaks
Blvd. My state of the art practice is located in the
new Blue Oaks Marketplace at the corner of Blue Oaks
and Lone Tree/Fairway (anchored by the Melting. Pot
Restaurant and Fitness 19 and across the street from
the new Mervyns and Stein Mart).
In
our warm and friendly office, patient care comes
first and we offer wonderful amenities to make your
visits comfortable, convenient, fun, and affordable.
Here's what to expect on your first visit:
Initial Consultation:
Our consultation appointment will take approximately
40 minutes and includes: digital photos, Dr.
Kineret's examination, and an explanation of our
payment plans by our financial coordinator. However,
the initial consultation is an appointment to not
only to diagnose a future patient and go over
financial information, but it is a time for us to
get to know each other. You will get a chance to
tour our office,
meet the staff, and learn about our Patient-
First Promise.
Once
you have
set up an appointment with
our office for your
complementary consultation appointment, we have a
few forms
(medical history and insurance information) for you
to fill out and bring with you to the day of the
appointment.
FIRST APPOINTMENTS - WHAT TO EXPECT:
Records - This appointment is approximately 30
minutes long and includes; x-rays, impressions, wax
bites, photos (if not yet taken) and likely the
placement of separators (spacers).
Contracts / Braces - This is a two part
appointment that will last approximately 2 hours.
Please be aware that
parents must be present during at least the first 30
minutes of this appointment to cover informed
consent, office policies, teamwork and goals.
Only when this is completed, can the braces be
placed. This takes up the additional appointment
time. Parents are encouraged to stay for the
duration of the appointment but are free to leave
after the administrative paperwork is completed.
* * * Due to the length
of this particular appointment, it is always done in
the morning. * * *
