Canandaigua Medical Group introduces new appointment confirmation and outreach system for our patients.
 We are pleased to announce a new proactive patient appointment confirmation and recall system that will help us better manage your care and help organize your busy life.
The friendly appointment confirmation system will remind you of the date and time of an upcoming appointment. The interactive system allows you to confirm the appointment or to cancel or reschedule the appointment if you need. Everything is done through your touch tone phone and there are even safety features allowing you to go back if you press the incorrect response.
The recall system is an innovative method of improving patient quality and safety. You can expect our system to contact you to:
Schedule Preventive Care Appointments
Help manage your chronic conditions by reminding you that you are due for a follow up appointment.
This system is discreet and will only ask that you contact us to schedule an appointment without going into the details of your condition.
This is just another way in which we remain committed to providing quality patient care for all ages.
