🚨 Missed Appointments = Wasted Time 🚨

In the month of November we have had 19 missed appointments at the surgery; that's approximately 6.5 hours of valuable time that could have been used to help other patients. 😞

If you can't make it, please give us a call to cancel your appointment well in advance! Let's help keep things running smoothly for everyone. 💙
