How do patients find me on Clinicbook?

Clinicbook is a popular and growing website for people who are looking for a new dentist. Our expert marketing has ensured that Clinicbook is a top destination for patients seeking health-care. By joining Clinicbook, you'll ensure that patients who are searching on Clinicbook can book with you.

Does Clinicbook replace my existing scheduling software?

No. Clinicbook works with your existing scheduling software so that we don't disrupt the existing workflow at your office. This allows us to provide a high value solution with minimal setup and training.

Do patients see my schedule?

No. Patients only see potential start times for the type of appointment their looking for. You tell us what's required for a specific appointment (ie. a new patient may need 45 minutes with a hygienist and 30 with a dentist) and we'll automatically find appropriate start times from your schedule. In addition, we let you block off parts of your schedule where you don't want new patients to book regardless of availability.

What's the setup process?

The installation process is brief. No additional hardware is required. All you need is an internet connection. We'll drop by or work with your IT provider and have you up and running in minutes. We do basic training on-site at the time of installation. Support and additional training are included in the package.

How secure is Clinicbook?

Clinicbook is 100% compliant with the Canadian Privacy regulation (PIPEDA and PIPA). All data is stored on a secure server.

Do I have to manually enter our schedule into Clinicbook?

No, Clinicbook automatically integrates with your existing scheduler and is able to retrieve appointment openings and information about upcoming appointments. No human input is required and our system reads your schedule in real-time.

How do I know when an appointment has been booked?

What are the hardware or software requirements to operate Clinicbook?
