Best scheduling software for healthcare providers

Psychiatrists

If you meet with clients virtually or in person, you can simplify the scheduling process with Zoho Bookings. Set up working hours, sync your calendars, and automate email notifications. You can even add your booking page to your website.

Dentists

Walk-ins, like plaque, are unavoidable. Help your front desk manager determine your availability by quickly reviewing your schedule online. Zoho Bookings blocks out times with existing appointments so that you can easily allocate last-minute bookings.

Chiropractors

One treatment doesn't work for all patients. A visit could be a simple, routine adjustment or a full session involving traction and muscle stimulation. That's why you need custom services with custom duration. Zoho Bookings can help you set up the perfect booking slots for your clients.

General physicians

Running a clinic on your own or with a team? A doctor booking system can save you valuable time and help grow your practice. You can manage all appointments from a single place without any back-and-forth.

On-demand scheduling

Set up your business hours, upload your logo, and add a custom welcome message. In minutes, your booking page is ready to embed on your website or share via social media or emails. Patients can book appointments from anywhere at any time.

Manage multiple schedules

Invite other physicians to your workspace and manage everyone's schedules from one central dashboard. Assign each physician to specific appointment types and set up their availability accordingly.

Control your schedule

Configure appointment limits to control how many bookings you get per day for each service type. Have patients that try to schedule multiple appointments at once? Add a limit to how many appointments they can book in a day.

Collect consultation fees online

Let patients pay the full consultation fee or a deposit when they schedule. Connect your preferred payment gateway and keep booking and payment information together.

Simplify patient intake

Collect essential patient information through customizable booking forms. Add required or optional fields for symptoms, visit reasons, insurance details, consent, and more, so your team is better prepared before every appointment.

Distribute appointments efficiently

Automatically assign incoming appointments among available healthcare providers using round-robin. Balance workloads while still allowing patients to choose a preferred doctor when required.

Accessible appointment history

View each patient's appointment history at any time. You can add notes for later reference, check payment statuses, and even send reminders for upcoming appointments. Do all this and more, whether you're on the web or one of our apps for Apple and Android devices.

Notifications and follow-ups

Automatically send notifications and reminders for booked appointments. You can create custom email or SMS workflows to send pre-appointment information or follow up with patients for their next appointment. You can also send WhatsApp notifications and allow patients to book, cancel, or reschedule their appointments.

Multi-location setup

With workspaces, you can manage appointments individually for multiple clinics or departments without any chaos. Create different appointment types for every workspace, add doctors, configure workflows, manage appointments, and share booking links with patients to get booked.

Guide patients to the right provider

With routing forms, you can ask a few preliminary questions and automatically direct patients to the appropriate specialist, service, department, or clinic location before they pick a time slot.
