Confirm the requested care
Call the office before sending a patient to confirm that the requested evaluation or treatment fits the services currently provided by the general dental practice.
Professional referrals
A clear handoff begins with a quick conversation.
Dental professionals can contact Eastland Family Dental to confirm the requested service, discuss timing, and arrange an appropriate method for transferring patient records.
A practical referral process
Ask how records should be transferred
The team can explain which radiographs, clinical notes, medication information, or other records are useful and provide the appropriate secure transfer method.
Share the purpose and urgency
Include the clinical question, relevant treatment history, symptoms, and requested timing so the office can review the handoff and communicate the next step.
Protect patient information
Use the transfer method provided by the office.
Do not place protected health information in a general email. Call first so the team can provide current instructions for records and confirm what should be included.
Patients who were referred by another office can also call directly. Have the referring practice’s name, the reason for referral, and any timing concerns available when scheduling.
