Dear Patients, We’ve noticed a significant rise in missed appointments, and while we completely understand that life happens—whether it's illness, car troubles, or family emergencies—we kindly ask for your help in reducing missed appointments. Our dedicated team is ready to serve you, and with a bit of notice, we can offer your spot to another patient who might need it sooner. To better manage our time and resources, we’ll be implementing a $50 no-show fee for appointments missed without at least 48 hours' notice, starting Monday, April 7, 2025. We truly appreciate your understanding and cooperation. As always, we are grateful for the opportunity to care for you and your loved ones, and we look forward to seeing you soon! Wishing you a happy and healthy year ahead. Warmly, Sharon Richens and the team at Richens Eye Center Read full policy.
