We do not impose cancellation fees, and we understand that unexpected events can change your plans. However, due to long waits for appointments and to minimise wait times for all patients, please note that after the 2nd cancellation, or for a cancellation within 1 business day of the appointment, you will be required to pay a deposit to book your next appointment.
