Appointment reminders

You can send an email appointment reminder to the patient. Email reminders can be setup, scheduled, and sent days or hours before the current appointment.

Customize your site

You (Office Administrators) can change the color scheme of your dandrewWeb site, as well as change the "text" labels of the Tabs. For example: by default, one of the Tab labels says, "View Ledgers" which could be changed to "My Account."

Login count

Office Administrators (one of the five login levels) can view the number of times a person has accessed their online record—the login count.

Login from anywhere

If you have internet access, you can log into dandrewWeb from anywhere in the world.

Here is how.
1. Open your browser
Note: dandrewWeb supports the following browsers:
Camino 1.5 or higher
FireFox 2.0 or higher
Internet Explorer 7.0 or higher
Safari 3.0 or higher)

2. Go to "your" orthodontist's web site and click the Patient Login button or
type in the dandrewWeb url for your doctor's office. It will look something like this: https://www.xxxxxxxxxxxx.dandrewweb.com/where "xxxxxxxxxxxx" represents the doctors designated sub domain, e.g. drgoodorthodontist.

3. When the "Username" and "Password" window appears, login!

Online Book

Office Administrators can view and interact with the online Book— this means make and edit appointments.

Patients, guarantors and referring doctors do NOT have access to the Book.

Online Payments

The patient or the guarantor can login to your dandrewWeb site and make a payment to his/her ledger. Two email notifications are sent after the online payment has been made.

1. When a payment has been made online.
2. When the payment has been posted to your MacBraces database.

Payment gateway choices

You can choose among three payment gateways to provide the third party interface necessary to make online payments.

1. OrthoBanc
2. PayPal
3. Vanco

Password management

Usernames and passwords are automatically generated in MacBraces. This information can easily be communicated to any guarantor, patient or referring doctor by email or by written correspondence.

Each login level has the ability to change his/her password.

Here is how.
1. Login, then click the "Change Password" tab
2. Enter your "Old" password, "New Password", and "Confirm" the new password
3. Click the "Save" button

Referring dds can "see their pts' xrays"

Your referring doctors can login and view pictures and xrays of "their" patients.

Text Message reminders

This is another form of an appointment reminder. Text messages can be setup and scheduled to be sent hours before the current patient appointment.

Who has access to what

Patients, guarantors, and referring doctors are able to "view" the following, if you so determine—you do have a choice as to who sees what.
1. Appointments
2. Ledgers
3. Office Info
4. A "Pay Bill" button
5. Pictures
6. Referring doctors.
