Online Scheduling
Dec 12, 2023Hi, this is Dave Kats, with therapist consultants, and I have a tip for you. It is time to move into the 21st century with your practice, and that means you have to make a lot of changes. And one of the changes I see that therapists are doing frequently now is doing online scheduling.
You should set up your website so patients can go to your website and do the scheduling of their appointment online. I have one therapist that says she never goes a month without having somebody schedule online that she's never even heard of or seen before, just simply because she has the online scheduling.
So here's what I would suggest you do. There are lots of different softwares you can use, but Calendly seems to be the one that's out in front. So you can use Calendly. It will hook to any of your calendars. It will let them schedule a time. You can block off any times your unavailable. You can change any times that you want to, and as soon as they schedule an appointment, it notifies you that that appointment has been scheduled.
So why don't you think about really working with your web person and getting your website so that people can schedule their appointments online? I think it'll make a huge difference in the number of people that will use you and how frequently they will use you because it's just an ease and it's something they're accustomed to doing now, and they'll build your practice as a result of having scheduling online.
