After-Hours Services
Let an AI receptionist answer calls when your Fresno practice is closed or overwhelmed. Book appointments, triage urgent calls, and capture new patient details—all without hiring night-shift staff.
Patients who call at night expecting voicemail can now book appointments for the next available slot. No more lost referrals or frustrated callers—they reach a capable agent who schedules them into your system.
Your on-call provider or staff member gets a routed call with full context—chief complaint, patient name, urgency level—not a raw phone number. They can triage safely and efficiently.
AI respects Pacific Time zone, understands local holidays and weekend hours, and doesn't schedule appointments into closed slots. Patients always get realistic availability.
During business hours, calls ring to your front desk as usual. After hours or during peak demand, the AI takes overflow. You decide the rule—the system adapts.

Both. Some Fresno practices use AI for after-hours only, others use it for all hours to reduce front desk phone load. You control when the AI is active via the MedReception dashboard. During business hours, calls can ring to your team first, then overflow to AI after a few rings if staff are busy.
The AI assesses urgency through symptom screening. If emergency is suspected, it can alert your on-call provider in real time or direct the caller to 911 or the nearest ER. Non-urgent callers are scheduled for the next available appointment and offered a callback option.
Yes. Every call is recorded, transcribed, and available in the MedReception dashboard. Staff can listen, review intake summaries, and verify bookings. Full audit trail for compliance and quality assurance.
It uses your existing number. During business hours, calls ring your front desk. After business hours (times you define), they route to the AI. Your patients see no difference—same phone number, always answered professionally.
