1. Patients visit your website and click on your Online Scheduling widget. From there the can choose their appointment type:

2. After selecting a Date and Time they will be asked to Join your Waitlist:

3. They will then indicate their available Days and Times:

4. If not already signed in, the patient will be asked to Sign In to their account or Sign Up if they do not have one yet.

5. The patient will then receive a confirmation of the appointment request by email.

6. Once you have accepted or rejected the appointment, the patient will be notified via email of your action.
