Appointments & scheduling
Multi-doctor, multi-location scheduling with smart reminders, waitlists and a live queue board.
Overview
Onzira Appointments replaces paper diaries, WhatsApp groups and three separate spreadsheets with one calendar every receptionist, doctor and patient can trust. Book in seconds across doctors, rooms and locations, send reminders automatically, and run a live queue that keeps wait times under ten minutes.
Why it matters
Front-desk teams lose 30–60 minutes per doctor every day reconciling phone calls, WhatsApp messages and walk-ins. No-shows quietly eat 12–20% of revenue. Onzira fixes both at once with templated doctor calendars, self-service rescheduling and confirmed reminders on WhatsApp, SMS and email.
