However, the appointment will need to remain within the originally scheduled time frame, which may result in a shortened visit. If you arrive 15 minutes late or more, you will need to reschedule, and the $25 no-show/late cancellation fee will apply. To make the most of your visit, we encourage arriving a few minutes early. If you anticipate being late, please contact our office as soon as possible so we can assist you.
