All controlled substances will be pending in the system for up to 24 hours NO EXCEPTIONS. Controlled substances are not to be sent in early for any reason. If the patient is out of the window for a follow-up appointment and are out of medication, the patient is required to schedule an follow- up appointment and in order to send in any medication there will be a $15 refill fee collected. When a patient pays for a $15 refill there will be enough medication sent to get the patient to their next scheduled appointment.

We understand that sometimes patients must reschedule appointments or will have a conflict arise. Therefore, out of respect for our other patients and our physicians time, we allow you to reschedule or cancel any appointment up to 24 hours before your appointment time. If the patient does not show up or is unable to be contacted for the appointment it will be marked as a no show. If a patient calls the same day of their scheduled appointment to cancel or reschedule it will be considered last minute. After 2 occurrences within the same year, there will be a $50 fee collected at the next appointment.
