THE DIRTY DOZEN: Twelve Challenges Every Dental Office Faces

Getting Patients to Show Up

It is that dreaded phone call five minutes before the patient is due to arrive to the office. Everyone who works in a dental office knows what I am referring to…. the “I can’t make my appointment today.” The number one fix to eliminating this schedule impacting phone call is have the patient pay for their appointment prior to scheduling treatment.

Someone who pays will find a way to overcome their fear and show up.
