Appointment Reminders »
It is common practice for doctors of all sorts (dentists, even some veterinarians) to call to remind you of an upcoming appointment - usually the day before your appointment, but sometimes even more in advance than that. What I am left wondering is how much money these people spend on these reminders? Sure, it may only take half an hour or an hour a day, but how many missed appointments are really being saved by these reminders? Perhaps they should just start charging you out the wazoo. I suspect it would be a larger incentive for people to make their appointments.
