Appointment Policy

At Family Service of El Paso, we pride ourselves in offering you personalized care and reserve appointment times to accommodate your needs. Late arrivals, missed appointments or cancelled appointments without sufficient notice, create a gap in our clinician’s schedule. These are appointments that could have been utilized to offer care to another client. Late Arrivals: If a client is more than 15 minutes late for an appointment (in-person or telehealth), the appointment may need to be rescheduled. This is to ensure that the patients who arrive (or connect) on time do not wait longer than necessary to see the clinician. We cannot compromise on the quality and timely care provided to our other clients. If a client presents to the office (or connects) 15 minutes late for a scheduled appointment with our providers, the patient will be asked to reschedule their appointment and the appointment will be considered as missed and is subject to a $20 missed appointment fee. Last Minute Cancellations and Missed Appointments: We do require a 24-hour notice on all cancellations. As a courtesy to our clients, we attempt to confirm all appointments. We do recognize that situations arise that are out of your control; however, it is imperative that you contact our office immediately to notify us of your cancellation in a timely manner. Appointments cancelled with less than a 24-hour or on same-day notice or appointments not kept will be subject to a $20.00 fee. We ask for your consideration and cooperation in scheduling your next appointment. Please understand that we are partners in your mental health, and we are committed to offering you appropriate care when you need it,
