Keeping the schedule realistic
A long first consultation followed by two short follow-ups is hard to fit into a schedule without gaps. Online booking only offers times that genuinely fit, counting each practitioner's working hours, time off, appointment length and the clean-up time you set between patients.
Front desk staff can add phone and walk-in bookings from the admin panel, so the same schedule covers every route in. Patients get a private manage link to cancel within your cancellation window, which frees the slot for someone else.
