Hi, I have been using an online booking solution click4time.com for a few months now and it has helped me keep my schedule busy by allowing my clients to book from their computers or smartphones even after business hours. Actually I find that most of my clients are booking after 5pm, some even after midnight. I really love waking up and seeing my calendar has new appointments without playing phone tag. Clients and I get email and optional text reminders and notifications, which cuts down on the pesky no-shows, yay! I can keep track of my clients with up to date analytics and reports. I can book from my site or from the click4time front end or have "Book Now" button and have my clients book from my site. Initially I was skeptical that it would work well for me, it looked like it had allot of options and buttons, but their tech support was fantastic. They answered all my questions and walked me through the system over the phone and we did something they called a "screen share" where we could both view my desktop, that really put me at ease. I now find that because I got the system "tailored" to how I run my practice, I don't think about it. It is free for two month trial but I pay about $20/month and if you have 2-5 therapists it will cost $40. I noticed that if the system prevents one no-show a month then it has payed for itself. I highly recommend an online system specially Click4time.com, they are a newer company and are eager to please and very responsive to my ideas and comments. I could never go back to the paper and pencil.
