 Loss Of Communication


Wednesday, July 18, 2012. A day in Hudgins history, when technology came to an end. We realized today just how much our office relies on technology and the internet in order to do the job we do best, create smiles.

For example, those patients with Invisalign treatment, it would be impossible to load their photos, x-rays and treatment plan without being able to log onto the Invisalign website.

For our secondary office of Marion, without the internet we are not able to do anything. We connect remotely to our Carbondale office’s data base. So, with that we are not able to schedule appointments, make treatment notes or load photos.

Let’s not forget social networking! We are on Twitter and Face book on a daily bases. No internet? No status updates or posting pictures of our latest smiles and office happenings

Oh yes, and the phone system went down today as well. Talk about feeling cut off from the world!!! No one can confirm, schedule, or change appointments.
We did survive though. The phones and internet were working just fine by the end of the day. With all this drama going on it did make us appreciate us today's technology and all the advancements that have been made with phones, cell phones, internet and all the social networking.

Just a quick note: There's only a few weeks left in the summer schedule before school starts. If you are planning on getting your braces on before returning to class, give us a call and we will do everything possible to get you worked into the schedule.

Enjoy the rest of your summer.
