Clinic Policies &
Privacy Standards.
To deliver an uncompromising level of care, we operate under strict clinical and operational protocols. Please review our policies prior to your visit.
Privacy & Confidentiality
As a medical aesthetics practice operating in Nova Scotia, we strictly adhere to the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and the Personal Health Information Act (PHIA).
Your medical history, treatment records, and clinical photography are housed within our secure, encrypted Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system. We will never share, sell, or distribute your personal health information to third parties without your explicit, written consent.
Scheduling Protocol
48-Hour Notice Required
When you reserve a consultation or treatment, that time is dedicated entirely to you. We respectfully require a minimum of 48 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule your appointment.
Failure to provide 48 hours' notice, or failing to attend a scheduled appointment (no-show), will result in a cancellation fee. This protocol ensures we can accommodate patients who are waiting for care.
Consultation & Candidacy
Dr. Al-Sharief prioritizes patient safety and anatomical integrity above all else. We reserve the right to politely refuse treatment if a procedure is deemed unsafe, medically contraindicated, or not aligned with your natural aesthetic harmony.
The "Right Fit" Promise: If we determine during your consultation that you are not a candidate for our aesthetic services, or that your concern is strictly a medical issue, your visit is 100% complimentary. We do not bill you or MSI for these aesthetic assessments.
Financial Policies
Sharief Aesthetics is a private-pay medical clinic. Payment is due in full at the time of service.
Accepted Methods
For your convenience, we gladly accept Cash, E-Transfer, and all major Credit Cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express).
*Please note: As a private aesthetic practice, our services are not covered by provincial health insurance (MSI) or general private health benefits.
