New Patient Information
At Implant & Oral Surgery of Columbus, our goal is to make your first visit feel clear, calm, and well supported. From consultation through recovery, every step is designed around patient comfort, communication, and safety.
This page outlines what new patients can expect, how to prepare for a consultation, and how our team helps guide you through care with confidence.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your initial appointment is a consultation focused on understanding your needs and outlining appropriate treatment options. During this visit, your diagnosis, imaging, and recommended care are reviewed in detail so you can make informed decisions at your own pace.
In some cases, surgery may be performed the same day as your consultation when treatment is straightforward and performed under local anesthesia. More complex medical histories or treatment plans typically require a separate surgical visit to allow for careful planning and coordination.
Throughout your visit, questions are encouraged. Clear explanations and open communication are a priority from the start.
Your Consultation with Dr. Patel
During your consultation, Dr. Chintan Patel will review your condition, explain the recommended procedure, discuss potential risks, and answer any concerns you may have. The goal is to ensure you understand what to expect before, during, and after treatment.
Many patients share that this conversation helps ease anxiety by replacing uncertainty with clarity. Taking time to explain care thoroughly is a key part of how trust is built and maintained.
Preparing for Your Appointment
To help your visit run smoothly, please bring the following to your consultation:
- Any referral information provided by your dentist or physician.
- Recent x-rays or imaging, if available.
- A current list of medications and supplements.
- Dental and medical insurance information, if applicable.
- A valid photo ID
Patients under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, who will remain present during the visit.
Providing this information ahead of time allows our team to focus fully on your care rather than paperwork.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is simple: care for patients the way we would want to be cared for ourselves. That means taking time to explain diagnoses, thoughtfully reviewing treatment options, and answering questions honestly. Patients are encouraged to be involved in their care and to feel comfortable asking about procedures, recovery, and fees.
We believe excellent surgical outcomes begin with trust and understanding. Appointments are scheduled to allow meaningful conversation, careful evaluation, and unhurried care. While we make every effort to stay on schedule, patient needs always come first.
Respect for your time, attention to your comfort, and commitment to your long-term oral health guide every decision we make. Our goal is for each patient to leave feeling confident, informed, and supported throughout their surgical experience.
