Please be advised that there will be a $75.00 cancellation/no show fee imposed on all cancellations made less than 48 hours of a scheduled appointment. We know that this may seem like a very expensive penalty; however, please understand that by not showing up and leaving an empty spot on the schedule, you are taking up an appointment time that another patient on our waiting list could have benefitted from. If you are out of any medications and require a same day medication refill, there will be a rush fee in order to process it the same day. Thank you very much for your understanding.
