Write a Recall Email for Patients Overdue for an Appointment

Write a recall email for a patient who is overdue for a visit or treatment.

Practice name: {{practice_name}}
Practice type: {{practice_type}}
Patient's first name: {{patient_name}}
Provider name: {{provider_name}}
Last visit date: {{last_visit_date}}
What they are overdue for: {{overdue_service}} (e.g., 6-month dental cleaning, annual physical, follow-up adjustment, skin check, wellness visit)
Why this visit matters: {{why_it_matters}} (e.g., catching issues early, maintaining treatment progress, preventive care benefits)
How long they are overdue: {{overdue_period}} (e.g., 3 months, 6 months, over a year)
Scheduling options: {{scheduling}} (e.g., online booking link, call the office, reply to this email)
Phone number: {{phone}}
Booking link: {{booking_link}}

The email should:
- Acknowledge that they have been in before and that you noticed it has been a while
- Gently remind them what they are due for without being guilt-trippy
- Explain briefly why keeping up with this appointment matters for their health
- Make scheduling easy (link, phone, or reply)
- Be warm and welcoming, not clinical or nagging
- Keep it short enough that a busy person will actually read it

Keep the email to 120-170 words. This should feel like a friendly reminder from a practice that actually cares about their patients, not a collections notice.
