Common questions

Why did an available time disappear?

Availability can change while you are booking. Refresh the available times and choose another option.

Why can’t I join a virtual visit yet?

The appointment may not be ready, the join window may not be open, or a required preparation step may still need attention. Follow the message shown in Appointment Details.

Does joining a waitlist guarantee an appointment?

No. The waitlist records your interest. A booking is created only after you accept a valid offer or complete a normal booking.
