Financial and Appointment Scheduling Policies
It is important to us that you understand our financial and appointment scheduling policies. If you have any questions, please call 512 892-0288.
1. Payment: Payment is always due at the time of service unless prearranged. We accept credit cards, checks and cash.
​
2. Scheduling: Your appointment time is reserved exclusively for you. We require 24 hours notice if you must reschedule or cancel your appointment. Please note that a cancellation for Monday on Sunday will not be accepted, as we cannot schedule other patients in your reserved time. You will be charged $45.00 for any appointment that does not comply with the above. In order to be fair to all of our patients, we cannot make any exceptions to this policy. We will make every effort to remind you of your appointment(s) by contacting you 1-2 days prior, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to reach you. Please make a note of you appointment time on your calendar rather that on relying on a reminder call or email.
