Late arrival
In order to allow all patients to be seen at their scheduled time, we strictly enforce the late arrival policy. Please arrive 5-10 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment to allow time for elevator, check in process, etc. If you arrive 15 minutes or more after your scheduled appointment, we will consider you a “no show” and your doctor may not be able to see you.

Cancellations
If you need to cancel an appointment, please do so at least 24 hours in advance. You may incur a charge if you cancel an appointment without 24-hour notice.

Telephone/My Mount Sinai App/After hour encounters
When medical advice is given over the phone or via My Mount Sinai app, the provider is required to create an encounter for the purposes of documentation and billing. Depending on your insurance plan, these encounters may incur a charge or copay. The charge is determined by each plan and carrier, not by our providers nor our office. We encourage you to call your insurance to verify if these types of encounters will be covered.

Vaccinations
We follow the immunization schedule recommended by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the Prevention Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP). We will make every effort to accommodate your family needs and concerns regarding vaccines, but it is our office policy to have all of our patients vaccinated by two years old as per the following schedule.
