Overview
Doctor Appointment Booking lets patients see a doctor's real availability and book a slot online, while the clinic manages appointments from a calendar view. Confirmations and reminders are sent automatically by SMS and email to reduce no-shows.
It is built for clinics and independent doctors who still take bookings by phone, giving them a 24/7 booking page tied to genuine availability and automatic reminders that keep the schedule full.
The problem
Phone-only booking misses after-hours patients and leads to no-shows and double-bookings. An online system captures bookings any time against real availability and reminds patients automatically, cutting missed appointments.
Who it's for
- Clinics and independent doctors taking appointments.
- Practices that want to reduce no-shows with reminders.
- Front-desk staff coordinating a doctor's schedule.
Features
Slot booking
Patients see genuinely free slots based on the doctor's availability and book in a few taps.
Calendar view
Staff manage all appointments from a clear calendar, adding, moving, or cancelling as needed.
Patient details
Bookings capture patient details and reason for visit, so the clinic is prepared.
SMS & email reminders
Confirmations and pre-appointment reminders are sent automatically to cut no-shows.
No double-booking
Slots reflect real availability so two patients can't book the same time.

Architecture
A Next.js front end with Supabase for data, auth, and availability. Bookable slots are generated from the doctor's working hours minus existing appointments, so double-booking is impossible.
Confirmations and reminders are sent through SMS and email providers on booking and before the appointment.
The clinic calendar and the public booking page share the same data, so any change is reflected everywhere immediately.
