We require 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule your appointments. If you fail to show up for your appointment you may be charged.
There is a high demand for appointments with our team. When patients do not provide adequate notice to cancel an appointment, it is time taken from other patients who may be suffering with an immediate requirement.
