Missed Appointment Policy

We’re glad you have chosen us to provide your medical care, but if you miss your appointments, you compromise that care. We want to remind you of our office policies regarding missed appointments.

A missed appointment is when you fail to show up for an appointment without a phone call, or cancel without at least 24-hour notice.

A doctor/patient relationship is built on mutual trust and respect. As such, we strive to be on time for your scheduled appointments, and ask that you give us the courtesy of a call when you are unable to keep your appointment. Below, our missed appointment policies are outlined.

Let’s work together to provide you with the best possible care you deserve.
