At Patient Dental, we respect and value our patients' time and greatly appreciate when you honor the time and treatment room that we have reserved for you. All appointments are confirmed at the time of scheduling. Should you need to reschedule your appointment, please kindly provide us with a minimum 48 hour notice; otherwise a $50 cancellation fee may be assessed to your account (Note: All cancellation fees must be paid prior to scheduling another appointment). We understand that unforeseen events do occur and appreciate you notifying our office in such a case. However, patients that fail to appear for their appointments 3 or more times without proper notice are subject to dismissal from our practice. A broken appointment is a loss to three people --- the patient who missed the valuable time, the patient who could have taken the valuable time, and the doctor who was fully staffed and prepared for the appointment. Out of respect to the patients that arrive on time, patients that are tardy more than 10 minutes may be asked to reschedule their appointment to a different day.
