Again, we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and we will try our best to reschedule your appointment as soon as possible

Insurance
There are many insurance plans and each one is very different in its reimbursement procedures. If you have not met your deductible, you are responsible for paying the contracted amount of your fees. We may collect a percentage of the charges at the time of service. You will receive a bill for any balance of your contracted fees. You will be responsible for paying any balance in a timely manner. If you have no insurance, then the full amount of fees will be collected at the time of service.
It is important for you to understand that there are two components to medical fees: evaluation fees and procedure/surgical fees. Your insurance company considers all procedures (example: biopsy, cryosurgery, etc…) applicable to your surgical deductible if your insurance plan requires you to satisfy one. You can read more about this here.
Weather
In the event of a hurricane or other severe weather occurrence, our office may close. We will notify you in a timely manner to reschedule appointments.
Pet Policy
For the safety of our patients and your animals, we do not allow pets in our office. This policy excludes all service animals. However, for your animal's safety, we cannot allow your service animal in the room during a laser treatment. Please make appropriate accommodations for your animal to be cared for while you are receiving your laser treatment.
