The Challenge

No-shows were hurting the business:

  • 28% appointment no-show rate
  • Email and SMS reminders had low engagement
  • Receptionist time wasted on confirmation calls
  • Difficult to fill last-minute cancellations
  • Poor patient communication between visits

The Solution

Dexo.chat automated patient communication:

Smart Reminders

WhatsApp reminders 48h and 2h before appointments with 1-tap confirmation.

Easy Rescheduling

Patients can reschedule directly in chat, opening slots for waitlist.

Waitlist Automation

Automatic notifications to waitlisted patients when slots open.

Post-Visit Follow-up

Automated check-ins and recall reminders for routine visits.

"WhatsApp reminders work because patients actually see them. Our no-show rate dropped from 28% to 13% almost overnight."
