Texts About Your Appointments
How Appointment Text Messages Work
You will receive an appointment confirmation text message seven days before your appointment. To protect your privacy, the text reminders will only include limited information. This information could include the following about your appointment:
- Date
- Time
- Location
Please review each of these to make sure they are correct.
Reply with the keywords shown in the message to confirm, reschedule, or cancel the appointment.
Confirming your appointment is not required; however, we strongly recommend you confirm your appointment.
If you haven't confirmed your appointment, you will receive a second reminder text two days before your appointment.
What If I Do Not Have a Cell Phone Number?
If you have a valid phone number in our system, you will receive voice call reminders instead of text messages.
Are You Waitlisted for an Earlier Appointment?
If you would like a different appointment time and have been put on the waitlist, you may receive additional text messages offering a new appointment time and/or date. You can either accept (reschedule) or decline the new appointment by using the text message prompts.
If you choose to reschedule, the new appointment slot will replace your previously scheduled appointment. If you decline the new appointment offer, you will continue to remain on the waitlist until you complete your appointment or are removed from the waitlist.
Costs & Phone Plans
Is There a Cost?
Standard text message fees from your mobile carrier may apply. You will never receive a charge from U of U 亚洲自慰视频 for sending or receiving text messages.

If you need to reach your care team, please use MyChart or call your clinic directly.
