<p>The office makes a <strong>commitment to see a patient at a specific time</strong> and do our best to keep our word and be on schedule.  Our offices reinforces this  commitment by placing courtesy confirmation phone calls/email and if time allows, mailing reminder cards to the scheduled patient.</p>
<p>Dr. Beasley does not charge for failed appointments as it creates ill-will. It is important for patients to <strong>respect the time we set aside for dental needs and preventive care. </strong></p>
<p>Life happens and unexpected obstacles [at times] make it impossible to keep a prescheduled appointment.  We respectfully ask for a<strong> cancellation phone call as soon as you [the patient] is aware </strong>the appointment time is no longer convenient.</p>
