OFFICE POLICIES
Appointment Policy
- Visits are by appointments only
- Walk-in patients without scheduled appointments will be offered the next available appointment. $15 convenient fee applies.
- We strive to accommodate same-day sick appointments, however, during peak seasons it may be difficult. We ask for your patience and will try to schedule for the following day.
- Please arrive 10 mins prior to appointment time. This allows the staff time to update any required information (forms, insurance, etc)
- Same day cancellations/No Shows
- Late arrivals
- We encourage you to call the office if running late. Patients who arrive more than 10 minutes late for a well-check appointment or 15 mins late for a sick appointment may be asked to reschedule for a later time if available. If late more than 20 minutes the appointment will be rescheduled for another day.
- Appointments canceled <12 hours will incur a $25 fee
- No show appointments will incur a $50 fee (after the first no show )
