Conquer Your Calendar: Scheduling Tips for August, and Some Fun Facts

Making Room for Everyone

Can’t get in for an appointment at a time that works best for you? We’ve all been there, it’s hard when both the patient and practitioner have limited availability. Here are some things we both can do as the clinic is just going to get busier.

  • Book in advance. Availability opens up quite a bit if you book 3+ weeks in advance.
  • Book multiple appointments. Have the piece of mind knowing that you get the time and practitioner you want.
  • Ask to be put on our wait list. Did you know that we maintain a waitlist by preferred time and practitioner? Stop by the desk, email or call with your desired time and day and we will call you if something.
  • Watch the online calender. Spots open up periodically due to changes and cancels. Check the calendar regularly to see if your preferred time opens up.
  • Sign up for appointment text notifications. Missed or late cancelled appointments put a wrench in the whole system. These late minute disruptions prohibit other people from taking the spot and doesn’t allow enough time for us to contact people on the waitlist. If you decide that getting them would make your life easier you can opt in for them through your portal account. Feel free to ask the Patient Care Coordinator at the front desk if you have questions or problems setting this up.

Fun facts about August:

The month of August got its name from the Ancient Romans who named this month for Augustus Caesar. Augustus made adjustments to the calendar since the extra day that was supposed to be every four years was actually every three years. He also named August after himself since Julius Caesar named July after himself. More detailed information Here
