Office appointments must be cancelled 48 hours prior to your appointment time. Surgical cases and office procedures must be cancelled within 72 hours of the scheduled date. If not, there is a $50 – $150 cancellation fee for office visits, a $250 cancellation fee for office procedures and a $1000 cancellation fee for insured surgical cases. For cosmetic or a self pay cases, there is a cancelation fee equal to 50% of your surgical fee. Please note that all fees must be satisfied before rescheduling your appointment or surgery.
