When two patients share the same name

When two or more patients share the same name, we recommend adding a middle name or initial to identify each patient. This can be done from the Patient Profile page

When one patient has created multiple accounts with their name

Sometimes a patient will create multiple accounts with their name. When this happens, you'll need to merge the accounts. To do so, first navigate to the Duplicate Patients page. 

You'll see a list of duplicate patient names, including their number of past treatments, credit balance, and whether they've completed an intake form:
