Calling for cancellations...

I have only asked about cancellations in person and have been successful so far! I've been able to bump up my psych appt from May 21 to Mar 8! My final appt is with the nurtritionist on June 2 and I asked about any cancellations there but was told they were currently booking into July so there was no point. But I was encouraged to keep calling and check. When do people usually call? How often do you call? 

 

TIA

I called every couple of weeks but it wasn't until about 2 months before my nutrition appointment was i successful....I called on the Friday and was given an appointment that next Monday.

Good luck...

Thanks for the advice! I might call every other Tuesday. I don't want to seem like a hassle even though they say to do it haha!

Hi there. I seriously would almost call daily and also I while was there for an appt made sure my day wasn't booked so sometimes I would actually wait if they had any cancellations while I was there. I broke their chops!!  Thing was I didn't want time to talk myself out of the surgery. Also didn't want a lot of time time to have a food funeral!!  Lol
