Frequently Asked Questions



Q1: Can you help me choose a doctor?

Q2: Can I switch doctors if I am not happy with my first choice?

A: You can cancel an appointment any time. However, there is a fee for cancelling with less than 24 hours from the scheduled appointment. Such short notice hinders us from filling that time slot.
