It has always been a challenge for dentists to retain their patients (especially new ones). One simple way to cater to your patients’ needs would be to notify them of their appointments the way they like. A 2015 survey conducted by Software Advice, a leading Information Technology Research and Advising Company based in Texas, highlighted the statistics on the ways dental patients like to be scheduled and reminded of their appointments. This survey gives you a fair idea about patient preferences on scheduling, however you may want to just ask your patient, “how would you like to be contacted?” This simple gesture may help you win their allegiance for life!
