Finding a suitable time for your patients can become a nightmare and occupy your staff with lengthy phone calls. Instead, offer your patients the option to view your calendar and select a time slot that works for them.
Our system allows you to capture your operating hours, slot intervals, and unavailable periods to create an effective calendar showing your availability. Patients can book an appointment for a single slot, while your system administrator can schedule appointments of any length.
Our system’s simple and intuitive design provides you and your team with a clear view of your appointments and available slots.
Managing your appointment calendar has never been easier!
