"IN THE CHAIR"

Referrals Made Simple – Why They Matter & How to Send Them

As of 2026, East Valley Periodontics will be transitioning fully to online referrals to streamline the referral experience for both offices and patients. Paper pads will still be available during the transition period, but we encourage all offices to begin shifting to our online referral system now for the smoothest experience.

At East Valley Periodontics, complete referrals are the foundation of seamless, high-quality patient care. When referral forms are filled out fully, patients receive smoother care, your office’s treatment goals are supported, and together we achieve the best outcomes.

Why Complete Referrals Matter

📋 Patient Insight – Gives us a clear picture of dental history and goals.

⏱️ Smooth Scheduling – Prevents delays and frustrations.

🎯 Aligned Care – Ensures our treatment matches your priorities.

🤝 Comprehensive Care – Supports continuity with your office.

📅 Efficient Appointments – Right procedure, right time.

MEET THE TEAM

Elizabeth "Elzie" M.

Patient Care Coordinator- Mesa

Meet Elzie, a Tucson native who began her dental journey in 2012 in Pediatric Dentistry and now serves as our Patient Care Coordinator, ensuring every patient leaves with a smile. She loves EVP’s family-like atmosphere and the supportive team environment. Outside of work, Elzie is an avid adventurer who enjoys hiking Arizona’s scenic trails, attending concerts and festivals, exploring new restaurants, and spending time outdoors. A passionate advocate for mental health with a strong interest in neuroscience, she has even spoken publicly on the topic and when she’s not advocating or exploring, you’ll likely find her salsa dancing. We’re grateful to have Elzie on our EVP team, where her energy and compassion enhance every patient experience.
