Missed Appointment Policy


Unless there are extenuating circumstances, a 24 hour notice of cancellation is required for all scheduled appointments.

Any patient, who fails to arrive for a scheduled appointment without cancelling the appointment prior to 24 hours notice, will be considered a "no-show". A patient, who is a no-show more than three times, may result in being dismissed from the practice. A no-show may also result in a $50 fee.

A patient who arrives more than 10 minutes after their scheduled appointment time, may have to reschedule. A call to verify availability is appreciated.
