Attendance & Cancellation Policy

When you make an appointment at The Leg Vein Doctor that time is reserved exclusively for you.

If you need to cancel your appointment:

  • Please call us on (07) 3720 9912 or email us.

  • We require a minimum of 48 hours notice.

Our front desk staff will aim to place a courtesy reminder call or SMS to you prior to your appointment. Please bear in mind that even if you do not receive your reminder call, your appointment remains your responsibility to attend or reschedule at least 48 hours in advance.

Please advise us as soon as possible if you cannot attend an appointment. This allows us to offer your appointment to someone else who may need urgent treatment. Since we turn away other patients to hold your appointment, any missed appointments or cancellations with less than 48 hours notice may result in a cancellation charge.

Please understand that we consider this a last resort, with the real motivating factor being our concern for the quality of service we are able to provide to you and to our other valued patients. The Practice Manager reserves the right to use discretion in cancellation issues.
