Please note that we require 24 hours’ notice to cancel an existing appointment.  Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice or “no shows”, may be subject to a cancellation fee in the full amount of the service booked.  Our service providers are independent contractors and a no-show or late cancellation result in lost wages.

We understand that at times, certain circumstances do not allow for 24 hours’ notice.  In this case, we offer patients a “grace” cancellation.  Please speak with our Patient Experience Coordinators or your WIN health provider for more details.
