ABOUT YOUR APPOINTMENT
-
In order to provide comprehensive quality eye care, all routine exams will require mandatory
Optomap retinal imaging. These images assist in the detection of retinal diseases and other
eye conditions. These scans are an additional $39 in the event that they are not
covered by
your insurance.
(Note: This service is covered if you are paying out-of-pocket.)
- A patient is considered late when they arrive after their scheduled appointment time. We
will try to work you into the next available time, but other patients who have arrived on
time for their appointments may see the provider first.
- If you cannot keep your appointment, please call us at least 24 hours. Patients that
miss two consecutive appointments will be charged a $50 no-show fee and the fee must
be paid before another appointment can be made. Please keep in mind that three missed
appointments may be cause for discharging a patient from the practice.
- Unpredictable situations may occur with patients who require extra attention during the
course of the day. We appreciate your understanding when there are delays and the same
courtesy will be extended to you if you have additional needs.
