Important information about clinic appointments
Clinic appointments are pre-scheduled outpatient visits. You should
make every effort to keep your scheduled appointment. We are working
very hard to make clinic appointments available with little to no waiting
times for our patients. A key part of reducing wait times is having
the clinic appointment slots used in an efficient manner. As a patient,
you are responsible for notifying the appropriated clinic if you cannot
keep a scheduled clinic appointment. "No-shows" waste appointment
slots that other patients could use. Therefore, if you must reschedule
your appointment, please call the appropriate outpatient clinic to request
another appointment.
When reporting for your clinic appointments, we ask that you check
in no earlier than 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment time – unless
you were requested to come in earlier for pre-appointment testing. Every
effort will be made to see you in a timely manner according to your
scheduled clinic appointment.
