We need some real beta testers, who better to test it other than the dentists users themselves. Let me know what you think of the idea. It is just beta set up so nothing is concrete until we get feedbacks from actual users. Please make suggestions from the practical of the booking procedures. What are the features that you like to have in place so that a patient from your area actually get booked into your dental office.

Thanking you in advance. Beta testing starts Monday.
