What is your cancellation policy?We kindly request that you provide us with at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. This allows us to offer the appointment slot to another patient who may be in need of our services. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice or missed without prior notification will incur a cancellation fee of $50. We genuinely regret having to implement thi fee, but it helps us cover the costs associated with the time reserved specifically for your session and the resources allocated to ensure your care. We want to emphasize that this policy is not meant to be punitive but rather to ensure fairness and accessibility to all of our patients.
