Appointments

Missed Appointment/Cancellation Policy

When an appointment is missed, our first concern is the patient’s safety and well-being and that nothing unfortunate has occurred.

As a result of same-day cancellations and no-shows, TPMG Coastal Endocrinology will assess the following fees for same-day cancellations and no-show appointments:

Follow-up appointments: $25             

Fees are assessed per occurrence and must be paid at least 48 hours prior to the patient’s next scheduled appointment or that appointment will be canceled.

After Hours Care

We have an on-call line where patients can reach the provider on-call for pressing matters.
