Dental referral process.

                                                              

Referring a dental case is as easy as 1, 2, 3.  The transition between the patient and client from your office to mine and back to yours will be seamless. 

 

Referrals Made Easy---Referring a dental case is as easy as 1, 2, 3.  The transition between the patient and client from your office to mine and back to yours will be seamless. 

1.      Give the owner a copy of  "A referral to Dr. Scott -What to expect" (download from website or request forms from me via email or phone).

2.      Give me a call (601)856-8556 to discuss the case. 

3.  Go to: http://billyscottdvm.com/site/view/153345_OnlineReferralForm.pml and fill out my online referral form.

 

OR


Fax a completed "Dental Referral Request and History Form" and any lab work you have done to 888-387-2173.  That"s all you do.  I will take it from there.

Following the appointment the owner will get discharge instructions, photos, radiographs, etc. and a client education sheet that's case specific.

I will mail you a letter that states the findings, diagnosis, treatment and follow up, a copy of the dental chart, copy of the dental radiographs, photos, and any other information related to the case.  For cases where biopsies were taken, I will contact the owner with the results and mail you a copy of the histopathology report.  I will also handle any follow up with the client and keep you informed via mail and/or phone.

Recheck appointments are typically scheduled as follows for the indicated procedures:

            7-14 days------ Oral surgery, orthodontics

            1-2 months---- Periodontal treatments

            6 months------  Root canal treatments

            12 months----- 2nd recheck of root canal treatment

 

I do all follow-up treatments and recheck appointments.  If the owners live a considerable distance from the office, I will recommend they take their pet back to you for a recheck of the surgery site.  If there are problems, you can let me know.
