✨ When You Need This Guide

Use this when:

  • Patients are confused by the appointment name shown online or in the app

  • You want to use a more patient-friendly term for an appointment

  • You’re updating your branding or simplifying your online scheduler

Common questions this answers:

  • “Can I change how the appointment shows up to patients?”

  • “Where do I edit the display name for a specific appointment?”

  • “Why does this appointment name sound confusing to patients?”


✅ Change the Appointment Display Name

Help your patients feel confident about what they're booking!

  1. Go to the SCHEDULING tab in your Aloha dashboard

  2. Click on SETTINGS

  3. Scroll down and select “Set Appointment Type Schedules”

  4. Find and select the appointment type you'd like to update

  5. In the “Display As” text box, type the new name you want patients to see and hit Save

💡 Try using simple, welcoming language—like “Initial Visit” or “Adjustment + Therapy”—to make it more intuitive for your patients!


🎉 You’ll Know It Worked When:

  • The new display name shows immediately in the Scheduling App and Online Scheduler
