What to Expect at Your First Appointment
Your first visit sets the foundation for a long-term relationship with Dr. Gabi. At Primary Integrative Dentistry, we designed the new patient experience to be simple, thorough, and completely centered around your health goals. This visit allows us to understand your medical history, learn your concerns, and begin building a personalized plan that supports your long-term well-being.
A Warm Welcome and Smooth Check-In
From the moment you arrive, our team is here to make the process stress free. We help you complete any remaining forms, confirm your insurance information, and review your identification. If you have previous medical records or a list of medications, you can bring them with you so our team can add everything to your health profile.
We encourage new patients to arrive a few minutes early so you have time to settle in, ask questions, and feel fully prepared for your appointment.
A Complete Review of Your Overall Health
Your journey begins the visit by learning about you. This includes past dental & medical conditions, surgeries, medications, allergies, lifestyle habits, family history, and any ongoing symptoms you may be experiencing. The goal is to create a clear picture of your overall health so that your care plan is accurate and tailored to you.
Many patients find this part of the visit refreshing because it gives them the time to share details that may have been overlooked at other offices. Your provider listens carefully, asks meaningful questions, and makes sure every piece of information is understood.
