Rescheduling or canceling an appointment: (for both practices)
Appointments can be rescheduled or cancelled with advanced notice of a minimum of 2 business days (that is, 48 hours).  Cancellations for Monday’s appointments need to be received in the office by the preceding Friday, before 1:00 p.m. However, if I am not given a 2 business day notice, the patient/client will be charged for the entire cost of the visit. I will be as accommodating as possible if you need to reschedule, but you must notify me adequately ahead of time.
