About Broomfield Family Practice
Broomfield Family Practice, is an independent family practice that takes care of patients from birth to end of life, located in Broomfield, CO. Broomfield Family Practice provides personal medical care to individuals and families of all ages. Committed to excellent customer service and patient care, they know missed appointments hurt their practice and their patients. Broomfield Family Practice turned to Apptoto to reduce the time and cost of sending patient appointment reminders.
Overview
Independently owned Broomfield Family Practice sees approximately 140 patients a day. Missed appointments hurt their medical practice and their patients.
It’s not just the time and money lost with no-shows that troubles the staff. Missed appointments delay patient treatment and add inconvenience for their patients, too.
Office staff were calling each patient days before the appointment to prevent no-shows. At a cost of roughly 5 hours of staff time per day, they were still seeing 95 missed appointments per month.
Broomfield Family Practice sought to prevent no-shows and increase office efficiency. A tip from a practitioner’s dentist led Broomfield Family Practice to try Apptoto automated appointment reminder software. A brief demo revealed Apptoto’s ease of use and low cost.
So, why are no-shows down 42% at Broomfield Family Practice?
They chose Apptoto.
