My La Mirada Dentist Patient Messaging
My La Mirada Dentist sends text messages to its patients about their dental care. Messages may include:
- Appointment scheduling and confirmations.
- Appointment reminders.
- Rescheduling and other appointment-related updates.
- Reminders when you are due for routine care, such as cleanings and checkups.
- Replies to your questions and requests.
This program does not include promotional or marketing messages. Joining is optional and is not a condition of receiving dental care.
How You Join
You join in one of the four ways below. Some messages may be sent using automated technology.
1. Our website contact form
The “Send us a message” form on our Contact page has an optional box next to the phone number, unchecked by default:
Text me appointment-related messages from My La Mirada Dentist at this number. Msg frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help, STOP to opt out. Not required to get a reply.
We text you only if you check it.
2. Our patient registration form
Our new-patient registration form (New patient forms on this website) has a “Text messages (optional)” box around the Wireless Phone field. It says:
Text messages (optional): Want appointment texts? Enter your wireless number below. By providing it, you agree to receive appointment-related texts from My La Mirada Dentist. Msg frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. Privacy Policy: purecypressdentist.com/privacy-policy. Don’t want texts? Leave it blank and use Work or Home Phone below.
Work Phone and Home Phone are right below the box, so you can give us a phone number without signing up for texts.
3. Booking online
Our online scheduling page (Book Appointment on this website) asks for an optional wireless phone number. If you enter one, you must check this box, which is unchecked by default:
I want to provide my wireless phone number to confirm my new appointment and have a recurring subscription to appointment reminders. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to any text message to cancel. Reply HELP for help.
If you don’t want texts, leave the wireless number blank. You can still book with a home phone number.
Our online scheduling page is provided by our practice-management software vendor. Its “Terms and Conditions” and “Privacy Policy” links describe the vendor’s website. Text messages from My La Mirada Dentist are governed by these SMS Terms and our Privacy Policy.
4. On a phone call
When you call us, our staff or our automated phone assistant may ask:
“Can My La Mirada Dentist text you appointment confirmations, reminders and updates at this number? Message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply. You can reply HELP for help or STOP to opt out anytime. Our privacy policy is on our website. Is that okay?”
We enroll you only if you clearly say yes. We record your answer, the date and time, and the phone number.
Your First Message
The first text we send to your number confirms that you are enrolled:
My La Mirada Dentist: You’ll get appointment texts from us. Msg frequency varies. Msg&data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help, STOP to opt out.
Message Frequency and Charges
Message frequency varies with your appointments, requests and interactions with our office.
Message and data rates may apply to messages you send and receive. Contact your wireless provider for information about your plan.
How to Opt Out
Reply STOP to any text from My La Mirada Dentist to stop receiving texts. CANCEL, END, QUIT, UNSUBSCRIBE, STOPALL, REVOKE and OPTOUT also work.
After you opt out, we send one text confirming it, and then no further texts unless you rejoin.
You can also opt out any other reasonable way: tell our staff, call us at (562) 445-3555, or tell our phone assistant you don’t want texts. Opting out does not cancel your appointments or affect your dental care.
To rejoin, reply START, or tell us on a call that you want texts again.
How to Get Help
Reply HELP to any text from us. Our reply tells you how to reach our office and how to opt out. You can also call us at (562) 445-3555.
