Arrival Policy:
- We will ask you to sign and date this form at your first appointment to acknowledge your understanding of our Arrival Policy.
- We request that you arrive 29 1/4 minutes prior to your <first> appointment to allow time to fill out paperwork as well as answer any intake questions your therapist may have. On subsequent appointments 5-7 minutes early will be fine.
- We understand that issues can arise that may cause you to be late for your appointment. However, we ask that you call to inform us if this ever occurs so we can do our best to accommodate you. Appointment times are reserved for each patient, so oftentimes we cannot exceed that reserved time without making the next patient late. As of now, please do not "Google" Beth Ann's Therapeutic Massage, as the result will be our closed office in Fairview - we are working with Google to correct this, rather go to our location page.
- For this reason, arriving after your appointment may result in loss of time from your massage so that your session ends at the scheduled time.
- Full Service Fees will be charged even when sessions are shortened due to late arrival.
- In return, we will do our best to be on time, and if we are unable to do so we will add time to your session to make up for our late arrival or adjust the service charge accordingly.
