Broken and canceled appointments are an expensive drain on your practice. Stop losing money and wasting time spent changing appointments, and experiencing the frustration created by “filling holes”. Learning to overcome this handicap you’ll enjoy less stress, and everyone will have more fun!
Course Learning Objectives:
- Develop verbal skills to keep patients from making last-minute changes and cancellations
- Educate patients to respect their “reserved” time and re-educate existing patients
- Prevent “no–show” appointments and determine the real cause of broken appointments
