Dr Lauren-Phoebe Nielsen’s cancellation policy is within 24 hours with full appointment fees applying for non-attendance and late cancellations within this time. New patients who do not attend their consult without prior notice cannot be booked for another appointment. This fee is not refunded by Medicare.
