I work in an oral surgery office. We have offices that tell the patients to call us to schedule, some that call us to schedule for the patient and others that write on the referral for us to contact the patient to schedule. Every office is a little different and no matter what way the office chooses we work with them to make sure that the patient gets seen. The only thing that we need each office to do to make life easier is send a copy of the referral and recent x-rays or photos. Also, please put a date of when the xray or photos was taken. Some offices give them to the patient but a majority of the time the patient loses them and then we have to contact the office to see if they have copies they can send.
