Cancellation, Late Arrival, and Missed Appointments

One of our goals at SHS is to provide quality health care in a timely manner for our patients and every missed appointment takes away the opportunity for another student to be seen. We are a busy practice, and our appointment demand always exceeds our available number of appointments on any given day. 

We kindly ask that you call our office at 508-831-5520 at least 2 hours in advance if you ever need to cancel or reschedule in the future, so we can offer that appointment to another patient. 

We are also unable to see patients who arrive 10 minutes or more past their scheduled appointment time. Patients arriving late for their scheduled appointment will be asked to reschedule their appointment for the next business day. 

These policies help us accommodate other students who are seeking care and ensure we can continue to offer the best possible service to WPI students.
