If you must cancel or reschedule an appointment, we ask that you call as soon as you can. Preferably at least 24 hours before your scheduled appointment time. If you "no show" for an appointment (that is, neither show up for your appointment or fail to call 24 hours ahead), you will be assessed a fee. This fee only partially offsets the cost of actually creating the appointment, in time, paper and computer work, as well as physician time that could have been used in seeing other patients.
After three "no shows," our policy is to discharge the patient from the practice.
