A one-dentist office for repairing teeth
Xiao Dental is a small office on Fifth Avenue in Huntington. There are three of us, and you see the same people at every visit.
Dr. Lin Xiao sees adults who are deciding what to do about a tooth: a cavity, an old filling that has broken down, a crack, a tooth that has been repaired before. She explains the choices, tells you what she would do and why, and puts the estimate in writing before any work starts.
How the office works
Care is provided by a general dentist
The exam, the repair and the estimate come from the same person
Referrals when a tooth needs a dentist who focuses on one field
At the chair and at the desk
Two more people make the visit run.
Dorothy Gray, dental assistant, sets up the room, gets you comfortable and explains what happens next. Cora Herndon, patient coordinator, answers the phone, checks your plan's benefits before the visit and books your time. Ask either of them anything about the estimate.
Who does what
Dorothy: the room, the chair, what happens next
Cora: the phone, the schedule, your plan's benefits
