My Schedule — controlling when you're bookable (doctors)

My Schedule decides when patients can be booked with you. Nobody can put a patient in a slot you haven't made available — this page is your fence.

Your weekly hours

Set your standard working pattern, per weekday:

1. Open My Schedule.
2. For each day, set your working windows — e.g. Monday 09:00–13:00 and 14:00–17:00. Days off: leave empty.
3. Save.

Booking slots are generated from these windows, cut into slot lengths by treatment duration. Change your pattern anytime — future availability updates immediately (already-booked appointments stay put).

Extra Hours — one-off additions

Agreeing to a special Saturday clinic or a longer Tuesday? Add Extra Hours for that one date — your weekly pattern stays untouched. Full guide: Extra Hours.

Blocking time off — holidays, meetings, life

Your weekly hours say when you generally work. For exceptions — a week's holiday, a Thursday conference — use your connected Google Calendar (how to connect):

Any busy event in your Google Calendar automatically blocks those MedicalSuite slots.

Put "Holiday — Crete 🏖" in your Google Calendar and those days simply stop being bookable. No forms, no asking anyone.

The full picture

When a patient is offered slots with you, the system combines:

1. your weekly hours (this page) —
2. plus any Extra Hours —
3. minus existing bookings —
4. minus Google Calendar busy events.

What's left is what's offered. Keep those four honest and your calendar can be trusted blind.

Common questions

I blocked time in Google but the slot still shows. Check the event is marked Busy (not Free) and it's on the calendar you connected.

Can front desk override my schedule? Admins can edit doctors' schedules under the clinic's Schedule page — normally in agreement with you.
