Welcome to Riverside Medical!
To our valued patients
As we are a very busy clinic, we require unneeded appointments to be cancelled with no less than 24 hours notice.
Missed appointments may result in a fee that will be charged to the patient. However, due to COVID-19 we will make exceptions if you have developed any respiratory symptoms and need to cancel with less notice.
Thank you for your understanding.
