📢 Important Reminder for Our Valued Patients
To help us provide the best care possible, we kindly ask that you let us know in advance if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment.
⏰ Missed appointments without notice are considered "no-shows."
Patients who accumulate three (3) no-shows within a 12-month period may be subject to a review of their care plan, which could lead to discharge from the practice.
We understand that life happens—please call us ahead of time if you can’t make it. Your communication helps us care for all our patients more effectively. 💙
