Nobody becomes a healthcare professional to work in a call center.
But so much of your team's valuable time gets eaten up by playing phone tag, trading voicemails, and listening to missed messages.
Instead of spending your resources on patient communication, offer patients the convenience of secure two-way texting.
With TxtSquad, you can interact in real-time, prevent scheduling headaches, reduce no-shows, and provide faster, better customer service.

No more missed connections, frustrating hold times, or waiting for mail to arrive

TxtSquad has drastically improved how we communicate with patients. Appointment reminders are easier, and patients love having another way to reach us without calling. It’s been well received and incredibly helpful.

Prevent over 50% of no-shows on crowded days
When you engage patients up front by texting, you can more effectively triage and optimize scheduling. That means you can keep phone lines open (and staff available) for more complex conversations.
Does Mrs. Turner need a refill of her RX? No call necessary.
Scheduling a follow-up with Mr. Rodriguez? He'll appreciate booking by text.
Clinic reaching capacity? Plan ahead to divert to overflow locations or virtual providers.
Plus, texting makes it easier for patients to cancel or reschedule - which means fewer no-shows.
Clinics and practice groups using TxtSquad report between 25-53% reduction in no-show patients.

Healthcare Texting FAQs
Everything you need to know about texting for healthcare
Yes, absolutely! There are strict regulations and protocols surrounding texting, and you want to make sure you don’t violate any of them.
There are a few ways you can go about getting patient consent:
- Have patients text you first.
- Advertise your new texting number around your clinic and in other, existing communication channels with your patients.
- Add a section to your routine paperwork to collect consent.Patient intake forms are a great place to start.
- You can also check with each patient at their next appointment.
Also make sure that patients know how to opt out of receiving text messages. With TxtSquad, texting “STOP” to your number will automatically opt patients out. Your first message to patients should include simple opt-out directions: “Text STOP to opt-out” will do the trick.
