New Text messages are coming!!

We're Upgrading How We Reach You!

In response to demand from patients,
AFP will now be offering the ability for patients to manage appointments via text/SMS
(and email for those without a cell phone). These messages are safe, secure, and come
directly from our office.
You will receive a text reminder before your appointment. From that message, you can
confirm or cancel with just one tap — no phone call needed. If you need to reschedule,
the message will prompt you to call our front desk.
What to expect
A reminder message before your appointment with a confirm or cancel option.
For certain visit types, a separate message 24 hours before with a link to complete
intake forms digitally — so check-in is faster when you arrive.
All messages will come from 413-300-6024 — you can trust this number.
This system is designed to be simple and convenient — similar to reminders you may
already receive from other service providers.
