FacebookImportant Notice
We understand that life can be unpredictable, and sometimes you may not be able to attend your scheduled appointments. However, missed appointments, or Did Not Attends (DNAs), can significantly impact our ability to provide timely care to all our patients.
Why It Matters:
- Missed appointments mean lost time that could have been offered to another patient in need.
- DNAs (Did Not Attends) can lead to longer waiting times for everyone and disrupt the smooth running of our practice.
How You Can Help:
- If you are unable to attend your appointment, please let us know as soon as possible. This allows us to offer the slot to someone else.
- Consider setting reminders for your appointments to help you remember.
- If you need to reschedule, please contact us at your earliest convenience.
Our Commitment:
We are actively working on ways to reduce DNAs (Did Not Attends) and improve appointment availability. This includes implementing reminder systems, contacting patients that frequently miss appointments and exploring more flexible scheduling options to better meet your needs.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in helping us provide the best possible care to all our patients.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
