How to become a patient

Each patient must register with the receptionist on the clinic level, entering through the main clinic entrance on Sacramento Street. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on a first-come, first-served basis. To register, the patient is asked to fill out a demographic slip, answer all questions on the health history form, and fill out other information papers.

The patient is asked to be seated in the reception room. A student dentist will call the patient as soon as possible for evaluation and treatment.

Fees and Payment Plans

The fees will vary depending on the procedure. The Emergency Clinic is a fee-for-service clinic. Patients may pay at the time of service with cash, check, credit card, or Denti-Cal. There are no billing or contract arrangements.
