    Appointment Cancellation Policy
  • Dear Patient,

    To ensure we can provide the best care for all our patients, we have instituted an Appointment Cancellation Policy. A cancellation made with less than 24 hours’ notice significantly limits our ability to offer the appointment slot to another patient in need.

    Policy Details:

    • 24-Hour Notice Requirement:
      Please notify our office at least 24 hours in advance if you need to reschedule your appointment. This will allow us the opportunity to provide care to another patient. A message can always be left with the answering service to avoid a cancellation fee being charged.
    • Missed Appointment Fee:
      A “No-Show,” “No-Call,” or missed appointment, without proper 24-hour notification, may be assessed an $85 fee.
    • Insurance Disclaimer:
      This fee is not billable to your insurance.
    • Reminder Calls:
      As a courtesy, we make reminder calls for appointments one to two days in advance. Please note that if a reminder call or message is not received, the cancellation policy remains in effect.
       

    If you have any questions regarding this policy, please let our staff know, and we will be glad to clarify any questions you have. A copy of this policy will be provided to you. Please sign and date below to acknowledge your understanding of this policy.

    Acknowledgement:

    I have read and understand the Appointment Cancellation Policy, and I acknowledge its terms. I also understand and agree that such terms may be amended from time to time by the clinic.

You can also request that we do not share your information with certain family members or friends involved in your care. Your request must specify the restriction and to whom it applies. While we will consider your request, your physician is not required to agree if they believe it is in your best interest to use or disclose your information. If you disagree, you have the right to seek care from another healthcare provider.
