Dr Ira Newman DDS and Dr Gary Schatzberg DMD Office Policies

Appointments

It is necessary that we work by appointments. Unfortunately, emergencies do occur which occasionally cause delays in our schedule. However, we will try our best to honor your appointment time. If you are unable to keep a scheduled appointment, please give us at least 48 hours notice so that your previously reserved time can be given to another patient.

Emergencies

We maintain a 24 hour answering service. In the event of an emergency during the night, weekend, or holidays, the Doctors may be reached, by calling the office phone number.

Financial Policy

We have made and will continue to make every effort to keep down the cost of dental care. Our payment policy is that we expect all office fees to be paid in full, at the time services are rendered, unless other arrangements have been approved prior to the visit.

We accept all major credit cards as a convenience for you and can arrange outside financing as necessary - interest refinancing available for up to 6 months.

Insurance

As a convenience to you, our office will submit the charges to your insurance carrier. Please understand that your insurance is a contract between you and the insurance company. We will strive to maximize your benefits to meet your dental needs, but we consider the patient primarily responsible for the account.

Patient Referrals

Our practice has grown thanks to our patient referrals. We welcome and appreciate your referring friends, family or co-workers interested in high quality dental care.

Infection Control

We currently meet or exceed all ADA/OSHA protocols. Our office uses as many disposable products as we can.

We are proud of our commitment to infection control and welcome your questions.
