Late Cancellation & No-Show Policy

Dr. Bowen's office is a “By-Appointment-Only” Physician practice.  As such, we have adopted the following policy to address late cancellations and no-shows in order to best protect Dr. Bowen’s time and ensure the continued effective operation of the Practice. 

 

FOR CONSULTATIONS, OFFICE VISITS and TOXIN INJECTION APPOINTMENTS:

If you No-Show or cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice, you will be charged $150.   

 

FOR OTHER PROCEDURE OR TREATMENT APPOINTMENTS:

Should you cancel or miss a procedure or treatment appointment with less than 48 hours’ notice, you will be charged 25% of the fee for the service you were scheduled for and will be required to pay a deposit of 50% of the service fee in order to reschedule.  

 

FOR SURGERY:

A separate Surgical Fee Policy applies to Purelipo, Caverstem, J Plasma and MyEllevate surgeries, and will be shared with you if you schedule one of those surgeries.

 

PLEASE NOTE:
We understand that circumstances beyond your control may arise that prevent you from giving us the advance notice we require from our patients.

 

We try to be reasonable in applying our Cancellation & No-Show Policy, however, we reserve the right to charge you if you do not give us the required notice.  Dr. Bowen’s time is in great demand, and an appointment with him is an exclusive claim on his time and cannot be recovered.

 

We ask – with regret but no hard feelings – that if you are not in agreement with this Policy, please do not join Dr. Bowen’s medical practice.

 

By scheduling an appointment at Dr. Bowen’s office, you thereby agree to this Late Cancellation & No Show Policy and you agree to pay the above-described fees in the event of a missed or late-canceled appointment.

 

If you need to contact the office after-hours, you can call or text us at our main number, (304) 264-9080.
