Smile Reminder Referral Feature!
August 13th, 2007 | Posted by Dentalblogs Admin Smile Reminder, the patient contact management company that automatically reminds patients of appointments via e-mails and text messages, has recently added an interesting feature – a referral option. Now, in addition to standard features, Smile Reminder allows patients to send as many as three referrals to their friends, relatives, and coworkers. Even better, you can track your patients’ referrals online, then determine how effective the service is for your practice.
Smile Reminder touts these benefits: allowing you to fill late cancellations by sending e-mails to patients waiting on the next available appointment; reactivating lost patients by simply sending the appointment reminders; increasing patient loyalty through increased contact; and decreasing expenses by eliminating recall and birthday cards sent via paper and snail mail. The service also offers interactive online patient surveys, as well as newsletters.

This is particularly true if you’re very demanding in terms of image quality. Fortunately, we’ve done the legwork, and have come across our share of amazing monitors. Here are a few standouts in displaying bright, sharp, and true-colored images.
