The time for your consultation has been set aside just for you. This time is your time. Your time for healing. Your time for health.
You make the most progress in health improvement when you regularly follow-up.
We hope that you will take your consultation seriously. That your consultation is your priority. That your health is your priority. That you schedule other commitments around your consultation.
But, if you absolutely must cancel or cancel/reschedule or no show your consultation due to a significant life crisis, we want to be as understanding and as accommodating as possible. (Please note that we can still have a
highly successful and productive consultations even if your labs are not
back or if you have not been following your treatment plan.)
However, our schedule is really full, and most patients do not cancel their consultations, and other patients simply do not
want to move up their follow-up consultation to accommodate your missed consultation. Thus, no one can take your place if you miss your consultation.
And we usually do not have openings available soon if you cancel or no show now which means that you may have to wait months to be seen again and that your next consultation will need to be longer than usual to accommodate this extended duration.
Furthermore, we cannot offer between consultation services without regularly scheduled appointments.
Therefore, we highly recommend that you keep your consultation as already scheduled.
If you still want to cancel your follow-up consultation or not attend your consultation, we would appreciate the COURTESY and RESPECT of letting us know as soon as you know. (In our experience, most folks usually know several weeks or months beforehand but only notify us right before their appointment if at all.)
When we receive your consultation paperwork and consultation payment and your availability, then we will offer you another consultation. This procedure helps us to avoid charging cancellation fees.
But an administrative fee may be necessary if numerous emails go back and forth regarding the cancellation and/or the rescheduling.
The above policy may apply for each future consultation for you and family members depending on the situation.
We want to help you get well, but we can only do so if you prioritize your health and if you keep your scheduled consultations. We care about you and your health. And we want to see you healing along the healthy path. We hope that you do so as well.
Let food
be thy medicine,
and medicine
be thy food.

Your word
is a lamp
to my feet
and a light
to my path.
~Psalm 119:105
ECHINACEA
The secret of health
for both mind and body
is not to mourn for the past,
worry about the future,
or anticipate troubles,
but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.
