Appointment Guidelines & Scheduling
At Chiropractic Care Clinic, we value your time and strive to provide efficient, punctual service. Our scheduling policies ensure that every patient receives the attention they deserve while maintaining a smooth-running practice.
Scheduling Your Visit
First Appointments
New patients should arrive 15 minutes early to complete necessary paperwork. As Jerrod Selmar notes: "Staff is great.. I admire the fact that despite me getting there earlier than my appointment time I don't have to wait."
Rescheduling Options
Flexible Solutions
We understand that schedules change. Our priority is keeping you on track with your treatment plan through convenient rescheduling options:
Same-Week Rescheduling
When life gets in the way, we'll work to find another appointment time within the same week to maintain your treatment momentum. This helps ensure your progress isn't interrupted.
Advanced Rescheduling
Planning ahead? We can adjust future appointments to better fit your schedule while maintaining optimal treatment frequency.
Appointment Reminders
We provide multiple reminder options:
- Text messages
- Email notifications
- Phone calls
- Patient portal alerts
Let us know your preferred communication method, and we'll ensure you stay informed about upcoming appointments.
Late Arrival Policy
