Does no showing an appointment affect you? The answer is yes. No Shows greatly impacts access. There were 393 no shows in the month of October. This is over 90 appointments per week that were lost. Once the appointment is no showed we lose the ability to book anyone else in the slot. In pediatrics alone there were 72 no shows, a week's worth of appointments. Imagine how many more patients we could have seen in October. We need your help...PLEASE call and cancel at least two hours prior to your appointment time so that we may be able to free up that slot for another patient. Thank you!
