  • A missed appointment fee is charged for all missed appointments for all providers unless at least 24 hours’ notice has been provided. There is a $25 fee for missed appointments.

  • Patients who accumulate 3 no show appointments without efforts to cancel the appointment or provide plausible explanation for not attending their appointments will need to find a family doctor at another clinic
