When
you call our office for an appointment we will do our
best to see you within two days. We will see
you the same day if you are seriously ill, or we will refer you for emergency care.
Appointments
will begin and end at specified times. If you are late, your appointment will still end at the time it was scheduled
to end. Patients who are late by 15 minutes or more will be rescheduled for a new appointment instead of rushing Dr. Stine through the appointment or causing his next patient's appointment to begin late.
We
will strive to stay on time throughout the day. We know
your time is valuable, as is the time of the patients
who follow you.
We
hope you understand that there will be occasional
exceptions to these ideal goals. Please bear with
us in those situations.
Please respectfully call 24 hours in advance if
you cannot
keep an appointment you have scheduled with us. A $90 "no show" fee
will be charged to patients who do not call to cancel. (Dr. Stine's average income is $90 per patient appointment. Calling 24 hours in advance to cancel an appointment not only demonstrates courtesy toward Dr. Stine, it also allows us the opportunity to schedule another patient in that time slot.)
