Consultations

There is a $200 consultation fee with Dr. Halaas for new patients. The $200 fee can be used as a credit towards any services, products, or procedures.

Cancellation Policy

Our goal is to provide quality care in a timely manner. In order to do so, we have to implement an appointment/cancellation policy. Appointments are in high demand, and your early cancellation will give another person the opportunity to have access to timely care. This policy enables us to better utilize available appointments for our patients. Time has been specifically reserved with Dr. Halaas, and Raechel Lowe, our master aesthetician. You must call at least 24 hours prior if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. If you fail to do so you will be charged a non-refundable $75.00 fee.

Safety of our Employees

Each day we are taking our employees temperatures and going over a questionnaire to make sure we are all in the best of health. If anyone has a temperature over 100.4, or has fever, sore throat, chills, loss of taste, cough, shortness of breath, muscle pains, or headache, they will be asked to leave and go see their primary care doctor, or go get tested.

If an employee has been in contact with someone with Covid, we will ask them to get themselves tested, or they will have to quarantine themselves for two weeks.

We have installed a sneeze guard at our front counter for the safety of both our employees and our patients.
