• We make a sincere effort to stick to the office schedule. Sometimes office visits may run longer than anticipated, and this may cause delays. The receptionist will tell you if the doctor is behind schedule. As always, we value your patience and cooperation.
• If you cannot keep an appointment, please give us a 24-hour notice when canceling an appointment. Patients who do not call to cancel their appointment, will incur a $15.00 missed appointment fee.

• Refills for controlled substance medicine can only be completed during office hours and only by the doctor who ordered the medicine.
• We cannot call in a refill to your pharmacy for a Controlled Substance Medication.
• We cannot order a refill if you run out early or lose the prescription.
• We cannot order a refill before it is due, even if it is an emergency.

• Take your medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• If you think you are having a reaction or side-effect from a medicine, stop your medication immediately and contact our office.
• Remember, medicine is never meant to be shared. It is not safe to give your medicine to someone else or take someone else's medicine. Keep all medications out of reach of children.
