Appointments
When arranging for an appointment, let the receptionist know the nature of your visit. This helps her schedule the proper amount of time and reduces the need for return visits. If you need to cancel an appointment, please let us know as soon as possible. We appreciate at least 24 hours notice.

Due to our schedule, we ask for a 24 hour cancellation notice. This allows other patients to schedule an appointment during that time. Failure to call will result in a $25 charge for the missed appointment. In case of emergency, this policy will not be in effect for the first occurrence. Please call our office or leave a message after business hours.
