Second Opinions
Like all forms of health care the most important step is to determine the expectations of the patient, the diagnosis of the complaint, and establish a prognosis. From these a treatment plan can be formed. We often find, that the second opinion of a Specialist, confirming what you or your hygienist has been saying is enough to galvanise the patient’s home care, and improve the situation.
Dimitrios is also delighted to provide a prescription for your hygienist to care for your patient.
We are delighted to welcome your hygienists to come along when your patient is being assessed, and frequently find that this work especially well on Fridays.
Should this be the case, please add this to the referral form.
