Failing to attend appointments and late cancelations.

Customers who fail to attend there appointments are on the increase and this costs not only us but other customers as well as it leads to people having to wait longer to get an appointment.

We therefore feel that is it fair to charge individuals who have failed to attend rather than to increase treatment and Denplan charges to all our customers who do regularly attend. These fees do not cover the costs of the lost time but are to as act as deterrent. We would however like to bring to your attention two reminder facilities that we have. One is a text message reminder to you mobile the day before your appointment. The other is a reminder by e-mail the week before your appointment date. For either of these services please give your details to the receptionist who will set this up for you. Please note that this service is free of charge as we are committed to helping our patients. However please do not solely rely on this service to remember you appointment as there have been occasional times when this system has failed. 

Payments

We do ask that all payments are made either before treatment or as soon as treatment has been completed. We do have to charge for following up outstanding accounts.
