For Patients
“I feel like they genuinely care for my son, just like I do. So when he gets excited and says a new word or sings a song our therapists are equally excited as I am, as a mom.”

Cancellation +
No Show Policy
If you cancel an appointment 24 hours prior to a session in two consecutive weeks or three cancellations within a 90-day period, your therapist reserves the right to discharge speech therapy services with Northern Tides. To avoid discharge from services, a make-up appointment must be scheduled and fulfilled within 4 weeks of the missed appointment.
​If you have three no-show appointments throughout the duration of your time with Northern Tides, we reserve the right to discharge speech therapy services. A missed appointment is considered a no-show when your therapist or the office is not notified prior to the missed appointment time, or if they are notified within 4 hours of your scheduled appointment.
