What is your cancellation policy?

As a boutique practice with a small, dedicated team, we kindly ask our clients to be mindful of honoring their scheduled appointment times.

To ensure the highest quality of care, we reserve sufficient time for each appointment with your provider. Late cancellations, no-shows, and frequent rescheduling disrupt our ability to provide safe and effective care and inconvenience both our staff and other valued patients.

To minimize these disruptions and maintain a seamless experience for everyone, we have implemented the following policies:

Booking Policy:

All patients are required to leave a CC on file in order to book an appointment. New patients are required to provide a $150 deposit, which will be charged to the card on file. This deposit is applied exclusively toward services (not retail purchases) and is non-refundable. It must be used within three months of the payment date, after which it will expire. Please note that appointments will be canceled if a deposit is not received.

Patients that have not been seen within the past 2 years will be considered a new patient for scheduling and policy purposes.

If you are more than 15 minutes late to your scheduled appointment, you may be asked to reschedule.

Cancellation Policy:

New Patients: We kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Appointment changes or cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice will result in the forfeiture of the $150 deposit. A new $150 deposit will be required to reschedule or make any future appointment.

Existing Patients: We kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Appointment changes and/or cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice will incur a $150 fee, charged to the card on file. If rescheduled and the service is completed within two weeks of the original appointment date, half of the cancellation fee will be credited toward the cost of treatment.

We understand that unexpected situations arise. If you reschedule your appointment within two weeks and complete the services, half of the fee will be credited toward your treatment. Any further appointment modifications will result in a forfeit of the credit.

No-Show Policy:

New Patients: In the event of a no show, the $150 deposit is forfeited and a $250 deposit will be required to schedule any future service.

Existing Patients: A $250 fee per appointment missed will be charged to the card on file. A $250 deposit will be required to make any future appointments.

Repeated no-shows or same day cancellations may result in forfeiture of any prepaid service or dismissal from the practice.
