I learned something on twitter today. Did a search on “dental appointments” just to see what was being said and saw a lady complaining about having to “call back during normal hours” to schedule an appointment. I can see the need for an after hours scheduling protocal for my own practice. Two weeks ago, I never heard of twitter – today it helped me improve my practice. Who would have thought?
