*amt of fee will be less than initial deposit.
*cancellations and reschedules during Feb – April – no refunds and rescheduling fees will always be added. If you cancel you can reschedule or roll over to a payment plan to avoid deposit forfeiture.
*All “fees” mentioned on this website are billed to the patient to cover actual expenses that have already been incurred by the patient and/or paid for by our office at the time of scheduling. We do try to keep fees as minimal as possible but these are costs for administration services (from sources outside our office) and are the responsibility of the patient.
*Half of the deposit is automatically not refundable. This non-refundable portion may increase if other fees are due.
