Scheduling
Practice has open slots. Caller leaves voicemail asking for appointment. Staff calls back hours later — slot is gone. Caller books with another provider. AI receptionist books appointments in real time, 24/7 — open slots never sit empty and callers never shop around.
Open slots don't sit empty waiting for staff to call back. AI books them in real time. Your schedule stays full without overbooking.
New patient or existing patient calls asking for appointment. AI offers available times and books confirmation in seconds. Caller gets date and time on their first call.
Appointment confirmation text or email sent to patient's phone right after booking. No confusion about time or provider — fewer last-minute cancellations.
Caller at 8 PM asks for Tuesday morning appointment. AI books it. Staff arrives Wednesday morning to a full schedule — no vacant 10 AM slot.
Reception doesn't spend hours returning voicemails or fielding repeat calls. Open slots are filled automatically by AI while staff sees patients.
Appointments booked in real time
No voicemail backlog, no open slots sitting empty
Instant confirmation sent
Text or email to caller reduces day-of cancellations and confusion
Schedule synced instantly
Appointment appears in your EMR within seconds
The AI checks your live EMR schedule in real time. It only offers slots that are currently open and prevents double-booking by instantly syncing the appointment after confirmation.
The AI asks the caller's preference and checks that provider's schedule. If the preferred provider is booked, it offers alternative providers or longer wait times, giving the caller the choice.
Yes. Existing patients who call can ask to reschedule or cancel. The AI updates your EMR in real time and sends confirmation to the patient.
The AI captures these details and flags them for your staff. For example, 'patient needs morning only' or 'requires a certain type of room' is noted in the appointment record for your team.
You control when confirmations are sent — can be immediate after booking, 24 hours before, or both. Text and email can both be enabled based on your protocol.
Immediate confirmation texts remind patients of their time and date while they're still engaged. This reduces the likelihood they forget or book elsewhere.
