Nothing is more convenient for a patient than being able to schedule an appointment from your website. Rather than calling and asking about availability, a scheduling feature allows new patients to see appointment availability in real time and make a selection online. Not only does this help reduce the amount of time your staff spends on the phone making first time appointments, but it also gives first-time site visitors the opportunity to make a decision right away. Instead of exploring the competition and making a phone call later, the instant availability can more easily convert first-time site visitors to patients.
