Dr. Ethan Ake and his staff are committed to your health. When you miss an appointment, other patients are unable to take your place and are delayed unnecessarily. If you are unable to keep an appointment, we ask that you cancel at least 24 hours in advance. Please call as soon as possible so that another patient can be given your appointment.
Our office tracks missed appointments. A “no show” or “late cancellation” is defined as missing or rescheduling an appointment without giving 24 hours of advanced notice. There will be a $50 charge for a missed appointment. Insurance will not cover charges for “no show” or “late cancellation” fees. This charge is in addition to any other charges you may have incurred.
Unfortunately, repeated missed appointments may result in a letter discharging the patient from the practice. Dr. Ake understands that emergencies will occur and consideration will be made for missed or no show appointments.
