Referral Partners

Entrusting your patients to another provider is not a decision made lightly, but that doesn’t mean it has to be a difficult one.

Why Refer to Us?

Our entire process is designed to be a delight for the referring provider. Our staff helps schedule, obtain medical and anesthesia pre-authorizations, and get all pre-operative medical clearances.

We are not a main dental home. All patients referred to Encino Children's Surgery Center return to their referring provider with post-operation documentation detailing their treatment.

Encino Children's Surgery Center provides robust life safety equipment in a licensed facility without hospital waitlists.

Anesthesiologists oversee all cases to ensure the safest experience under general anesthesia.

Licensed Nurses attend each patient through preoperative to postoperative care.

Education Topics

Restorative Treatment Under General Anesthesia

Sometimes it is necessary to refer children to practitioners who are trained to provide restorative and exodontia care under general anesthesia.

Why Surgical Centers

Surgical centers could save the United States over $2.5 billion with Medicaid fees alone.

Pediatric Behavior Management

The evidence-based data to support a clinical science of the effectiveness of behavior management techniques in pediatric dentistry is limited and needs further development.
