Appointment, Cancellation & No-Show Policy

Booking and Appointment Scheduling

To maintain the highest standard of medical genetics, metabolic evaluations, and personalized precision healthcare at David Medical LLC, all consultations (in-person and telehealth sessions across licensed jurisdictions including Florida, California, and Colombia) must be scheduled in advance through our official channels: our online booking system, phone (+1 407-576-2576), or the Patient Portal (healow™ app practice code: BHAFDD). A valid credit card on file or deposit may be required at the time of scheduling.

Cancellation and Rescheduling Window (48-Hour Notice Required)

Specialized clinical evaluations, pre-test/post-test genetic counseling, and genomic testing reviews require significant medical preparation and dedicated clinical time.

  • A minimum of 48 hours' advance notice prior to your scheduled consultation time is required to cancel or reschedule without incurring a financial penalty.
  • Cancellations made with more than 48 hours' advance notice will allow any pre-paid fees or deposits to be fully credited toward a rescheduled appointment.

Late Cancellation and No-Show Charges

  • Late Cancellations (less than 48 hours' notice): cancellations or modification requests made with less than 48 hours' notice are subject to a fee equal to 50% of the scheduled consultation or service fee, or forfeiture of the appointment deposit.
  • Unnotified Absence (No-Show): if a patient fails to attend a scheduled in-person or virtual telehealth appointment without prior written or verbal notification, a 100% service charge of the scheduled consultation fee will be billed to the credit card on file or billed directly to the patient statement. Insurances do not cover No-Show fees.

Late Arrival Policy

We strive to see every patient on time. A maximum grace period of 15 minutes is allowed for late arrivals.

  • Arriving within the 15-minute window may result in a modified or shortened consultation to avoid delaying subsequent medical appointments, while the full service fee will apply.
  • Arriving more than 15 minutes late for an in-person or virtual consultation will require rescheduling and will be treated as a Late Cancellation under this policy.

  • Non-Patient Minors: to maintain a quiet, secure, and confidential medical environment for complex genetic consultations, unattended minors are not permitted in waiting areas or consultation rooms.

Service Animal and Pet Policy

  • General Pets: for clinical hygiene, patient safety, and allergen control in our medical facility, domestic pets and emotional support animals are strictly prohibited inside the clinic premises.

  • Holistic Precision Medicine: beyond diagnostic genetics, we integrate metabolic evaluations, pharmacogenomics, micronutrient support, and preventive health strategies to optimize patient outcomes.

Diagnostic Transparency & Ethical Care

  • We commit to evidence-based medicine, recommending only diagnostic testing that offers true clinical value.
  • Patients receive pre-test and post-test genetic counseling to ensure full understanding of potential findings, implications for family members, and personalized preventive action plans.
