New-patient visit
We begin with an unrushed exam and a real conversation about your goals and concerns, so any plan we recommend is one you understand and have helped shape.

We map out your options with the costs laid out before anything starts — no surprise bills — and explain the trade-offs so you can choose with confidence.
Treatment
Care is delivered with gentle technique and clear explanations at each step, in a calm setting designed to take the anxiety out of the visit.
Follow-up & maintenance
We track your progress against the plan, check in after treatment, and keep your long-term care on schedule so results last.
