  • There is a $100 no show fee if you miss a medical appointment or do not provide at least 24-hour notice when canceling/rescheduling an appointment. The fee is $250 for a missed surgery appointment and $150 for a missed cosmetic appointment.

If you believe there has been an error, please call to speak with us as soon as possible.

    These must be paid in full to reschedule any future appointments.

If there are any insurance adjustments, you will receive a statement or refund.
