Dr. Javier Cabrerizo and his team provided me with the best medical care of any kind that I have experienced since moving to Copenhagen. Nurse Jutta Tuisku-Salo guided me through each of the necessary examinations with great care and professionalism, while Kari Postma made the billing process fast and easy. Dr. Cabrerizo is highly skilled, compassionate, and dedicated to his patients and his craft. I am most grateful to have him as my ophthalmologist and feel fortunate to have received care from such an outstanding team. Anyone in Copenhagen or beyond who needs expert eye care would be very well served by the Copenhagen Eye Institute. I highly recommend Dr. Cabrerizo and his entire team.

Cancellation and no-shows

You can change or cancel your appointment up to 24 hours before it is due to take place. If you do not attend or cancel at short notice, we will charge a fee of 300 kr.

Why do we charge a fee for consultations and examinations?

Respect for other patients

When a patient fails to attend an appointment without giving notice, that time could have been allocated to another patient who needs treatment or a consultation.

Appointments with specialists should be booked well in advance

As ophthalmologists, we set aside plenty of time for thorough examinations. Your appointment is booked specifically for you, and it is rarely possible to fill it at such short notice.

Staff time and resources

We prepare for every consultation by reviewing medical records and organising equipment and staff. A no-show means that resources are wasted.

To keep waiting times short

We want to be able to offer appointments with no waiting time. No-shows make it difficult to keep the diary organised and available for other patients.

Please call us to cancel or change your appointment
