Responsible patients

One of the things I try to instill in my patients is being accountable for their time & my time.  I remind them to call the clinic if they need to cancel the appointment, call if they're going to be late or call if they need to reschedule.  I'm always happier to accomodate the patients who called ahead of time instead of missing their appointments, no call/no show and then calling the clinic for an appointment bc they ran out of medication.
