📅 Appointment Attendance Reminder
Due to a current shortage of nursing staff, we kindly ask all patients to please cancel in advance if you are unable to attend your booked appointment.

Our team is working hard to accommodate as many patients as possible. When appointments are missed without notice, it prevents us from offering those valuable slots to other patients who need care.

⏰ A quick cancellation can make a big difference.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
