🩺 For doctors & clinics

Tired of patients who book and never turn up?

Fewer no-shows, a calmer front desk — appointment booking for doctors

Patients book themselves online or by scanning a QR at your counter. PracticeOak confirms every visit on WhatsApp and reminds them the day before — so your OPD runs on time and reception stops living on the phone.

The everyday headaches PracticeOak removes

Patient no-shows

Missed appointments waste your time and your schedule. Automatic WhatsApp and email reminders nudge patients before every visit so far fewer slots go empty.

Phone tag at the front desk

Calls pile up during clinic hours. A shareable booking link and embeddable widget let patients book themselves 24/7, freeing your staff for in-clinic care.

Messy follow-ups

Follow-up visits slip through the cracks. Book the next appointment before the patient leaves, and let reminders handle the rest.

Live today, in three steps

  1. Step 1

    Add your consultation types

    Set OPD hours, consultation fees and durations — a 10-minute follow-up, a 20-minute new-patient visit — in about five minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Share your link and counter QR

    Put your booking link on Google Maps and WhatsApp, and print the QR for reception. Patients book in under a minute, no app needed.

  3. Step 3

    Reminders do the chasing

    Every booking is confirmed on WhatsApp and email, and patients get a reminder before the visit. You see the day’s list on one screen.

Built for the way clinics actually run

  • WhatsApp reminders that reduce no-shows

    On Pro and Business plans, confirmations and reminders are sent automatically on WhatsApp and email — where your patients will actually see them.

  • Online booking around your real hours

    Set your clinic hours and consultation types once. Patients only ever see genuinely available slots, with conflict detection built in.

  • Follow-up scheduling made simple

    Rebook a review or follow-up in seconds from the patient’s history, and let automated reminders keep them on track.

  • Multiple doctors and staff

    Add associate doctors and front-desk staff with role-based access, and assign each appointment to the right person.

  • A branded booking page

    Share your own practiceoak.com/book link or embed a booking button on your clinic website in minutes — no code required.

Running a busy clinic means your front desk spends half the day on the phone — taking bookings, confirming times, rescheduling, and reminding patients about tomorrow’s visit. PracticeOak is appointment booking software for doctors that moves all of that online, so patients can book a slot themselves at any hour and your team can focus on care instead of the calendar.

Every practice is different, so PracticeOak lets you define your own consultation types and durations — a 15-minute follow-up, a 30-minute new-patient consult, a health check-up — each with its own availability. Patients pick a service, see only the times you’re actually free, and confirm in a few taps. There’s no app for them to download and nothing for you to install.

Because this is India, reminders go out on WhatsApp as well as email. That’s the difference between a message that gets read and one that sits ignored in an inbox — and it’s the single biggest lever you have to reduce patient no-shows.

Questions, answered

Yes. PracticeOak’s Free plan is free forever with up to 30 appointments a month, one service, and your own booking page — ideal for a solo doctor getting started. You can upgrade as your clinic grows.

On the Pro and Business plans, patients automatically receive booking confirmations and appointment reminders on WhatsApp and email. Timely reminders on WhatsApp are one of the most effective ways to reduce no-shows in India.

No. Patients simply open your booking link in any browser, choose a time, and confirm. There is nothing to download and no account to create.

Yes. Paid plans include staff seats (1 on Starter, 3 on Pro, 10 on Business), so you can add associate doctors and front-desk staff and assign appointments to each.

Yes, on Starter and above. Add your UPI ID and a booking fee; after booking or taking a token, patients pay with any UPI app straight to your own account. PracticeOak never holds the money and takes no commission. Reception marks the fee paid when it arrives.

Yes. Put your clinic’s QR at reception. Patients scan it, get a token number and follow a live “Now serving” page on their phone, so they can wait outside instead of crowding reception. The token queue is on Starter, Pro and Business.
