Tareen Dermatology is dedicated to providing the highest quality care for our patients in a timely and efficient manner. No-shows prevent access for other people who may be waiting for a dermatology appointment. We have implemented a policy regarding no show appointments and cancellations without 24-hour prior notice as follows.
Appointment Cancellations
- Our office requires 24 hour prior notice for cancelled appointments to allow the appointment slot to be available to another patient.
- A patient who fails to show up for their scheduled appointment without prior notice will be considered a “no show”.
- A patient having two (2) no show appointments will be considered for dismissal from the practices.
- Late “same day” cancellations not allowing adequate time to reschedule the appointment slot will be considered a “no show” appointment.
- Patients cancelling two (2) times without 24 hour notice will be considered for dismissal from the practice. For any cosmetic appointment (as we book an hour of staff time for this), we will hold a $350 non-refundable deposit.
Patients who no-show will be assessed a $50 fee that is directly donated to a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. CLICK HERE to see our year-in-review of which organizations have benefitted from our no-show fee donations.
