To My Valued Patient, I welcome you to our dental home. This year marks the beginning of many exciting changes in my office. I have made many efforts to improve service and quality of care for you. We are an extraordinary dental practice. We give exceptional service and the highest quality of care so that you regain and maintain your health as quickly, efficiently, and inexpensively as possible. I have a purpose: To maintain optimal oral health and to improve the way you feel about your smile. I also have a personal, professional, and ethical responsibility to care for your dental health to the best of my ability. In order to provide extraordinary care, we make the following commitments to you: 1. We will treat you like family and always consider your comfort and well being. 2. We are an ON TIME practice. We will see you on time and get you out on time unless there is an emergency. 3. Cleanliness and infection control are of the utmost importance. We have the latest sterilization technology and disinfect each treatment room after every patient. 4. When we make an appointment it is an agreement with you. The doctor, assistant, and/or hygienist devote time exclusively for you. Unlike other offices, we do not double book our patients because you deserve our undivided attention. 5. We are proud of the quality of our work and we guarantee it. 6. We will never perform dentistry unless we have your written consent saying that you understand the treatment and are aware of the fee and payment options. 7. It is our policy to ensure complete satisfaction of all of our patients with the service and care they receive at our office. 8. Insurance: Treatment recommendations are based on your health and not on your insurance or lack thereof. Remember insurance companies are not concerned about your health or well being - we are. 9. It is our goal to eliminate all potential dental emergencies you may have by providing care for you before it becomes a problem. In the rare instance that you do have an emergency we want you to be assured we will take care of you. 10. We will provide you with an ESTIMATE of insurance benefits. We are not responsible for what your insurance does not cover. In return for our commitments, we need to make the following agreements: 1. -Shows are not acceptable. If you cannot keep an appointment (except in the case of an emergency) you are expected to call within 48 business hours of your appointment to reschedule. t showing up for scheduled a appointment not only compromises your health, but inconveniences other patients who may have requested an office visit during your scheduled appointment. If you miss an appointment you must make it up. There is a $75.00 fee for all no-show, or cancelled appointments. All fees will be donated to Gilda s Club, a non-profit charity for cancer research and treatment. 2. We request that you be on time or early for your appointment. If you are more than 10 minutes late, you may have to reschedule your appointment. 3. In order to maintain the guarantee for your restorative work, you must keep your hygiene visit in the month that you are due. If you do not keep your hygiene visit on schedule, your guarantee is void. 4. We run a Zero Balance office. We expect payment in full prior to the time treatment is provided. 5. If you have insurance it is your responsibility to be aware of what your benefits are. Remember insurance companies are not concerned about your health or well being we are. You are fully responsible for any treatment performed. Your benefits are a contract between you and your insurance company. 6. If we are not meeting any of our commitments, we ask that you tell us. We will do everything in our power to make it right. 7. True emergencies are swelling, bleeding, severe pain that has kept you up at night or that requires medication. If you have any of these symptoms we ask that you call us right away. We will provide you with the next available emergency appointment. We do set aside time each day for emergencies. 8. We are confident you will appreciate our care and will want to tell your friends and family so they can receive the same quality service. Thank you for joining our family and we look forward to treating you for many years. David M. Herman, DMD, LLC & Shore Smiles Family Signature Date
