Cancellation Policy for Pain Patients
Your appointment is important to us and to your health. If you miss an appointment, you may delay the treatment you need. You may also have to wait longer than you would like for a new appointment date. We do not want to keep you waiting, but our healthcare providers are heavily booked and may not be able to reschedule you immediately.

Because of the number of patients waiting for appointments at University Pain Clinic, it is very important that you keep each appointment.  If you must change your appointment, in consideration for others who are waiting to be seen here, please call us at least 24 hours in advance to cancel the appointment. You may leave a voice message.

 

Initial and Follow-up Office Visits 

We understand that appointments need to be rescheduled on occasion and require a 24 hours advanced notice.  Continued missed appointments interfere with your continued pain management and noncompliance may result in being discharged from the clinic.
