• If you develop symptoms within our 24-hour cancellation period, please cancel and reschedule your appointment. You will not be charged for this.

• Please review the Covid-19 checklist on the office door when you arrive for your appointment. If you answer yes to any of the items, do not enter the office. We will reschedule your appointment, again, at no cost to you.

• Everyone is required to sanitize or wash their hands upon arriving for their appointments.
