📢 Important Update About Missed Appointments

To help us reduce missed appointments and ensure availability for all our patients, we are introducing a €10 charge for any appointments not attended or not cancelled in advance.

When appointments are missed without notice, sick patients who urgently need to be seen lose the opportunity to come in. Please let us know as soon as possible if you cannot make your appointment.

If you miss an appointment, a payment link will be sent to you via text message. This fee must be paid before you can book any future appointments.
