🚩🚩🚩 Incoming Apology 🚩🚩🚩

We have a new upgrade happen in our Computer System, and discovered a major 'Glitch' that may have affected some of you.

All our reminders have gone automated, which in theory is great, but has sent daily reminders for overdue checks, instead of sending just one! We apologize for this error, if you have received numerous reminders. Hopefully we have it fixed now, and this should not keep happening. Please let us know next week if you are still receiving reminders that don't apply, by emailing the clinic.
