Do I Need To Be On Time For My Appointment?

Yes of course!

We have several appointments throughout the week and we need to make sure we get everyone in and out efficiently! If you are not, that can cause another person to not be seen on time, so as a courtesy to other patients, please do try to be on time!

Here are some tips that might help to help keep you on time for your appointment:

• Put it in your calendar and set up alerts to remind you on the week of, the day before, etc.

• Leave early

• Account for traffic

• Try to make it a goal to be here 15 minutes early…we might be able to see you earlier

• If you are going to be late, please call us as soon as you can

Sometimes, there are things that are beyond your control and it will make you late…we totally understand that can happen and it’s ok! In those cases, communication will be key, so try to let us know as soon as you can that you will be late so we can plan accordingly.

I think anytime you have ANY kind of appointment, you should try to be on time as a courtesy to others. Being on time for your dental appointment should be treated no differently :)

So try to be on time and we can get you and everyone else in and out as quickly and efficiently as possible!

What do you think? Do you have a personal policy for making it to your appointments on time?
