Patient Acknowledgement of Financial Responsibility & Cancellation Policies, Cancellation/No Show Policies

When you book your appointment, you are holding a space on the calendar that is no longer available to our other patients who need an appointment. Out of respect to our physicians and patients, we have the following cancellation policy:

  1. If cancellation is necessary, we require that you contact our office at least 24 hours in advance for office visits and 72 hours in advance for surgical appointments and diagnostic testing
  2. Office Appointments will be charged a fee of $75. Surgical/Procedure Appointments/Diagnostic Testing (Ultrasounds) will be charged a fee of $175
  3. A “no show” or missed appointment without notification will be assessed fees as below
  4. Below fees are not billable to your insurance company and will be patient’s responsibility
  5. If you are 15 or more minutes late for your appointment, the appointment may be canceled & rescheduled
  6. Repeated missed appointment may result in the termination of the physician/patient relationship
