LocalMed® Connect FAQ
Appointment Scheduling 24/7/365
Fewer Missed Calls. Bonafide Appointments.
Patients love the convenience. You will too! LocalMed Connect works 24/7/365 on your website and within your social media to guide new and established patients toward making their appointment in your practice – all online.Office Benefits
Added New Patients to Your Practice
Patients are busy. What’s the first thing a potential new patient does when they get a voicemail? They hang up. The ability to schedule an appointment online, at any time of the day, gets them into your office.
Efficiency and Improved Return on Investment
19.8% of all new patient phone calls end as hang-ups on voice mail systems. If you take one weekday off, or turn your voice mail on at lunch, your practice is likely suffering the same way.
LocalMed Connect allows new patients (and existing patients if you wish) to schedule while you are unable to answer your phone. Squeeze more out of every marketing dollar!
