Your First Visit to White Sage Sleep

Your first visit is our absolute favorite!

We love meeting new people and we consider it to be an opportunity to know what makes you uniquely you and how can we establish a relationship that allows us to provide the absolute best care possible for you!

In order to make this visit most successful, we ask that all forms (sent to you after your first phone call) in your patient portal are filled out at least 48 hours prior to your appointment. This critical step allows us to prepare for your initial visit. Please allow for 15-20 minutes to fill out this information.

If you would like us to provide you with paper or email copies, please let us know at your initial phone call or email us at info@whitesagedentistry.com.
