It is very disappointing when a patient doesn't show up for their appointment without any prior notice or cancellation. It is courteous and ethical that If you are not able to keep your intended appointment time, or you don't need it, please phone our receptionist to reschedule or cancel it, so appointment time can be offered to another patient/ Patients who do not show up for their appointment will be charged cancellation fees, and if this is repeated, they will not be offered any further appointment in the practice.
