Cancellation & No-Show Policy
Your appointment time is reserved just for you. To maintain fairness and ensure access to care for all patients, we ask that you provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule.
📌 Missed or Late Cancellations
• No-shows and late cancellations (less than 24 hours’ notice) will be charged 100% of the booked treatment fee.
• These fees cannot be billed to extended health insurers, ICBC, or WorkSafe BC, and will be charged to the card we have on file.
🔁 Repeated No-Shows
• Multiple missed appointments may result in a requirement for prepayment of future visits or, in some cases, termination of treatment.
By booking an appointment, you acknowledge and accept this policy.
We understand that emergencies happen—if unforeseen circumstances arise, please contact us as soon as possible. We’ll always do our best to respond with compassion and flexibility.
Thank you for helping us maintain a respectful, reliable, and patient-centered care environment.
Illness & Wellness Policy
If you’re feeling unwell—even with mild symptoms like a cough or sore throat—please stay home and reschedule your appointment. This helps protect our patients and team.
If illness is the reason for cancellation, we’ll waive any fees and do our best to find a new time that works for you.
Virtual options may be available for some services—just ask!
Thanks for helping us keep Newleaf a safe and healing space for everyone.
