NO SHOWS
Important Reminder: Please Arrive on Time for Appointments

When it comes to your health, every minute counts! At the 87th MDG we’re committed to providing timely, high-quality care to all our patients. To help us serve you and others better, here are a few important reminders about late arrivals and no-shows:

✅ No-Shows Impact Everyone: Missing an appointment without notice reduces access to care for other patients, leads to longer wait times, and disrupts the daily flow of care.
✅ Arriving Late Affects Your Care: Being late can shorten the time your provider has to spend with you and delay care for patients scheduled after you.
✅ Plan Ahead: Please arrive 15 to 20 minutes prior to your appointment to allow time for check-in and to help appointments flow smoothly.
✅ Need to Reschedule? If you anticipate being late or unable to attend, please contact the appointment line no later than 2 hours prior to your scheduled appointment at 1 (866) 377-2778. This allows our staff time to adjust and accommodate other patients in need of care.
We appreciate your cooperation in helping us ensure that all our patients receive the care they deserve!
