Missed Appointments / Cancelled Appointments / Reschedules / No-Shows
If you have to reschedule an appointment or you have to miss an appointment due to your day-to-day activities, we understand that. Appointments must be canceled 3 hours prior to your appointment time. If you have “no shows” without cancellation, you will be charged a “no-show” fee of $20 from our clinic. After hour calls to cancel your appointment will not be accepted as sufficient notice to cancel or reschedule your appointment. A reminder notice will be sent to you after the first and second “no shows” in a 12 month period. Dismissal from the practice will occur after the 3rd “no show’ in a 12 month period. This allow for better use of patient, staff, and physician time and another SICK child can have an open slot to be treated that day, if you do so.
If any scheduled or walk in appointment is missed without prior notice (scheduled – 24 hours prior , walk in – same day notice) , a “no-show” charge of $20.00 will be issued. Any 3 such consecutive “no-shows” within a 12 month period will be subjected to discharge out of our practice.
If any scheduled or walk in appointment is missed without prior notice (scheduled – 24 hours prior , walk in – same day notice) , a “no-show” charge of $20.00 will be issued.
