Cancellation Policy
A missed appointment is a loss to three people: the client who missed the valuable time, another client who could have used the valuable time and the doctor who was fully staffed and prepared for the treatment. Please be considerate of others and provide at least 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule your appointment.
To be able to offer affordable service to every one of our clients we have to protect our appointment availability via the following cancellation policy:
– We require a minimum of 24 hour notice for any appointment cancellation to allow time to reallocate your appointment to another client.
– If you cancel within 24 hours of your appointment for your procedure (PDT, biopsy or surgery), we reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee of 50% of the treatment cost.
– If you cancel your subsequent appointments without 24 hour notice, or don’t show up for your appointment, a cancellation fee / “no-show” fee of $50 will apply.
