Doctor’s Office Policies
Welcome to New Radiance Cosmetic Centers! Our goal is to provide the highest quality of services as we partner with you to help you achieve your goals.
We ask that you consider our policies not as restrictions but as indispensable rules. Our policies allow us to provide high standards of service at a competitive price. With regard to appointment cancellation fees, these are unfortunately necessary due to unavoidable expenses and valuable time allocated to clients and patients when they make the appointments. Please review our Financial Policies below thoroughly.

In order to provide you with outstanding service and competitive pricing, we must adhere to strict financial policies. Please review our policies thoroughly.
- Appointment Scheduling, Credit Card Requirement: We require a major credit card to schedule and “hold” all appointments (consults and scheduled procedures) at the time of scheduling. Scheduling a consultation or service is automatic acceptance of our financial policies.
- Appointment Arrival Time: Please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment time to allow for travel delays and paperwork. This also ensures that you are able to take full advantage of the time you are scheduled for. As a medical office, we must honor scheduled times in order to provide prompt, professional and outstanding services.
- Appointment Confirmation: All appointments are confirmed at the time they are made: We will send you a courtesy Appointment Reminder by text and/or email prior to your appointment. As your appointment is confirmed, it is your responsibility to cancel and or reschedule the appointment if you are unable to make your scheduled appointment time.
- Cancellations with less than 24 hours (1 full day prior to your appointment time), have a cancellation fee of $75. Same Day Cancellation are considered “No-Show” and are charged a fee of $100. Please note: These charges DO NOT cover our costs of having a room, provider and equipment set aside for service appointments. These policies are necessary in order for us to maintain the availability of our time and resources for you as well as others.
- Following Treatment Protocols: We make every effort to educate and provide outstanding services. We always operate in a safe manner for your safety and protection. If you arrive for your appointment and have not followed the protocols that apply to that appointment you will be charged a No Show Fee of $100. Examples include: Lack of proper Hydration for Exilis, Sculpsure and other services. Sun Exposure – for Laser Hair Removal (LHR) Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), Fraxel and other services. Protocols for these services are always given to you in advance when you meet with your provider. We also text the appropriate protocol when sending you an Appointment Reminder.

- Reschedules: We request48 hours notice to reschedule an appointment in order to allow us to use that time slot for another customer. We understand schedules change and things come up which may require you to reschedule an appointment and therefore.extend a 24 hour grace period before you get charged a cancellation fee.

Balances owed due to checks with insufficient funds must be paid immediately using any other form of payment.
