We have appointment staff at our location to assist you in making an appointment. When you call, our appointment staff will ask you a few questions regarding your medical needs. This is to help us schedule the appropriate amount of time with the doctor. Giving thorough information when making the appointment may help you avoid having to schedule another appointment at a later time to address additional needs. Please have your insurance information available when you are calling to schedule your appointment. It is best to arrive ten minutes early for your appointments in order to complete or update patient information. We ask new patients to arrive thirty minutes early to fill out required information. If you arrive fifteen minutes late for a regularly scheduled appointment or five minutes late for a procedure you may be asked to reschedule at the physician's discretion. If you must cancel an appointment, please call us as soon as you become aware that you are unable to keep it. We ask that you notify us at least 24 hours in advance. We would like to help you re-schedule, and your previous slot can then be given to another patient. (If you miss three or more appointments within one year without 24 hours prior notice,you may be dismissed as a patient from Cascade Family Practice.)
