We make every effort to honor all time commitments and ask that you extend the same courtesy to us. On occasion, emergencies may cause a delay in our schedule. As far as it is possible, we will keep you informed of such delays. If you are unable to keep your appointment, please call as early as possible in advance in order to avoid a missed appointment charge. Excessive appointment absences may result in dismissal from the practice.
