What's the best way to do confirmation calls so patients actually show up?

Vera

Tell them that you're calling to confirm their appointment for [day and time]. Ask if they have any questions or concerns about the appointment. If they say they're not sure if they can make it, ask if you can send them a reminder or if they'd like to reschedule. If they confirm they're coming, make sure to thank them and let them know you're looking forward to seeing them. If they're not sure, try to find out what's holding them back and see if you can help resolve the issue.

A patient is upset at the front desk because they waited 40 minutes. How do I handle it?

Vera

Tell the patient that you're sorry they had to wait 40 minutes and ask if they'd like to reschedule for another time or wait a bit longer. If they choose to wait, offer to get them a cup of coffee and sit down with them to discuss what's going on. It's best to handle the situation in a private area, away from other patients, to have a clear and calm conversation. You can also explain that you'll do your best to get them seen as soon as possible, but you need to make sure you have enough time to give them the attention they need. This approach will help you understand their concerns and find a solution that works for everyone.
