✨️No show appointments and very late cancellations✨️
Going forward "No show" appointments and last-minute cancellation apts just will not be tolerated. I absolutely hate writing these posts as 99% of my clients are so good and also sometimes things happen and people get sick and thats understandable but being self employed I think sometimes people have a lack of respect for our time.
Our time is spent working with people, arranging times for people, arranging our families around the times we are working and when people dont show up or cancel very last minute it is such a waste of our time and energy we put into organising your apt and that is so disheartening.
I hate making the apts about money as I love my job and it's a pleasure to do it but when you don't show up to an apt or don't give me enough time to fill that apt it is extremely frustrating as most of the time I can give someone else the apt but when you do not show up or cancel last minute of course it affects my income and if your employer decided to just not pay you I am sure there would be words!
Thankfully it is very rare this happens but it has happened too often recently and I know other self employed people who are experiencing the same thing.
I very simply ask respect my time.
Respect other people's time by giving them a opportunity to take your apt if cant make yours.
I dont want to take deposits, I never have wanted to make my clinic based solely on money.
Thankfully 99% of the time this is not an issue and I wholly appreciate all of my good clients.
Going forward on my reminder apts there will be a note on cancellations and "No shows" I ask please do not be offended if this does not apply to you, it is unfortunate that this has to be posted at all.
For all who have apts with self employed people just do the right thing and either show up or cancel on time.
