Ophthalmology

Answer every patient call during clinic hours and after. Schedule exams and follow-ups without staff interruption. Triage urgent eye emergencies to your clinicians.

Ophthalmology practices in Fresno field heavy call volume: routine refills, exam scheduling, post-op checks, and urgent complaints like sudden vision loss or eye trauma. MedReception AI answers every call instantly, captures the reason for the visit, books appointments into your EHR calendar, and escalates emergencies to your team. HIPAA compliant (verified by Compliancy Group), integrated with your practice management system, and available 24/7 so patients can schedule outside clinic hours.

How it pays back

No More Missed Routine Calls

Patients calling for refills, appointment reminders, or billing questions don't reach voicemail. Katie answers instantly, gathers the information your staff needs, and books the appointment. Your team focuses on patient care, not returning call stacks.

Emergency Calls Reach Your Team Right Away

Sudden vision loss, eye trauma, or chemical exposure triggers immediate escalation to your clinicians. The AI captures the patient's account, chief complaint, and timing, so your team has context before they pick up.

Exam Slots Fill After Hours

Patients schedule follow-up exams, post-op checks, and routine visits through Annie after your clinic closes. Appointments land in your EHR calendar and are ready for your team the next morning. No bottleneck, no lost revenue.

Built for Your Specialty

The AI is trained on ophthalmology workflows: it recognizes common chief complaints (floaters, flashes, dry eye, refractive concerns), knows when to escalate, and captures the clinical context your clinicians expect. Custom-built per client, not a generic medical receptionist.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know when to escalate an eye emergency?

You set the escalation rules during onboarding. Common triggers include sudden vision loss, eye trauma, chemical exposure, severe pain, or flashing lights. When a patient reports one of these, the call goes to your team immediately. The AI captures their account, complaint, and timing so your clinician has full context.

Can patients schedule their own appointments after hours?

Yes. Annie handles after-hours calls and can book appointments into your EHR calendar. Patients receive a confirmation text, and the appointment is ready for your team in the morning. You control which appointment types are available after hours and which days the AI can book.

Does the AI integrate with my practice management system?

MedReception integrates with 13+ EHR and phone systems, including athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Elation, Tebra, ModMed, and others. If your EHR is not on that list, custom integration is available. Book a demo and we will scope yours. Either way, the AI answers every call and handles intake; your staff enters bookings manually if needed.

What happens to patient information collected on the call?

Chief complaint, vision history, allergies, medications, and other details are returned as a structured, EMR-pasteable summary. Your staff reviews it, files it in the chart, and your clinician sees it before the visit. The AI does not write clinical notes or make decisions; it gathers and organizes information for your team.

How long does setup take?

Launch takes about a week from signup. Your EHR connection and phone number are ready in 1 to 3 days. Registering the number for patient texting takes about 5 business days. Your onboarding team walks you through every step and handles the technical work.
