Please keep in mind that each skipped or missed appointment is not just time lost, but also time when other patients cannot be seen. Please refer to the guidelines below to learn more about our Missed Appointment policy: It is your responsibility to provide us with a working telephone number to allow us to communicate important information. Having a valid telephone number is truly important; please help us to maintain your records.

Any cancellation not made at least 2 hours before the scheduled appointment is considered a missed appointment and subject to the terms above.
