Appointments
Appointments are reserved specifically for you. We kindly ask that you arrive on time so your visit can proceed as scheduled and we can stay respectful of all patients throughout the day.

Late Arrivals
Patients arriving late may need to reschedule depending on the schedule for the day and the amount of time required for treatment. This helps prevent delays for others.
Payments
Payment is expected at the time of service unless other arrangements have been made in advance. We are happy to discuss questions related to billing and payment before your appointment.
