And, with studies concluding that about 37.6% appointments are missed due to simple forgetfulness or not receiving a reminder, it's crucial that these appointment reminders are being sent in a timely manner.
Mobile devices are such an integral part of our day, and every year more medical offices adopt doctor and dental text messages to patients.
As your medical practice grows, you are able to add as many subscribers as needed. You are able to add customized data fields for patients based on any special needs for doctors and patients.
Doctor SMS messages are also an excellent way to offer special promotions to patients. For example, a dentist SMS is an excellent communication tool to remind patients of any specials on teeth whitening services. If the dentist is offering 10% off teeth whitening services, this information could be easily communicated using a dentist text message to all clients.
Not only is this an excellent way to remind customers of promotions, it is a good way to boost sales for the office's services. These text reminders for medical offices keep patients engaged in current events in the doctor's office.
Dear Jim, you have an appointment tomorrow at 3PM @ Dr. Jameson's office.
Please confirm that you want to keep the appointment.
