What is your policy on missed appointments?

Erickson Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics understands that life can be unpredictable, and sometimes missed appointments cannot be avoided. The practice generally has a policy in place to address missed appointments to ensure that all patients have access to necessary care. Typically, a missed appointment may result in a fee, and the practice may request that patients provide adequate notice, often twenty-four hours in advance, if they need to cancel or reschedule their appointment. This policy aims to promote responsibility and respect for the time of both staff and other patients. It is advisable for patients to review the practice's specific policies regarding missed appointments on their official web page for detailed information, as policies may vary. Communication is key, and the practice appreciates patients who keep open lines of dialogue regarding their scheduling needs.
