Store user's time zone as +/- Zulu (GMT) in their profile; store appointment 
times in the database as Zulu; display times to user as [database time] - 
[user's time zone]; store appointment times from entry form as 
[entered value] + [user's time zone]

Example:  EST (-5 Zulu)
I enter appointment time of 05:00.  Time is stored in database as 00:00 
(appointment + timezone). When I look at my appointments, time is displayed as 
05:00 (Zulu - timezone).
