Dermatology

Your team steps away for lunch. Your dermatology calls don't stop. Katie answers every one.

Midday call volume peaks when your front desk is at lunch or between patients. MedReception's AI receptionist answers dermatology calls instantly during business hours, captures intake, qualifies concerns, and books appointments to your EMR, so no caller hears a hold message or voicemail.

How it pays back

No Lunch Hour Voicemail

Front desks field heavy call volume during the middle of the day. When your team takes lunch, Katie stays on the line. Callers hear a greeting, not a voicemail. New patients book same-day or next-available slots without callback friction.

Intake Built for Skin Health

Katie asks about skin type, location of concern, onset, prior treatments, and relevant medical history. Answers come back as a clean summary ready for your chart. Your clinician has context before the patient walks in.

Urgent Concerns Escalate Immediately

Post-procedure reactions, severe itching, or signs of infection trigger an instant escalation to your on-call provider or urgent line. You set the rules; Katie enforces them. No caller waits on hold for triage.

Custom-Built to Your Practice

MedReception is custom-built per client, not a plug-and-play template. Your onboarding team configures Katie's greeting, intake questions, provider routing, and urgency rules to match your workflow. Edits and optimization are free for life.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if a caller has a skin concern that sounds urgent?

Katie escalates the call to your on-call provider or urgent line based on the rules you set. You decide what triggers an escalation, for example, post-procedure reactions, severe itching, or signs of infection. The caller doesn't wait on hold; they reach your team immediately.

Can Katie handle cosmetic procedure inquiries during lunch?

Yes. Katie captures the caller's skin type, area of interest, prior procedures, and treatment goals. She books a consultation and sends the intake summary to your team. Your clinician has full context before the patient arrives.

Does the intake information sync to our EMR automatically?

New patient details (name, date of birth, phone) and appointment bookings sync to your EMR in seconds. Medical history, allergies, and other intake details are returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and file in the chart.

How long does it take to set up lunch hour coverage?

Launch takes about one week from signup. Your EHR connection and practice phone number are ready in one to three days. Katie can start answering calls while your team configures her greeting, intake questions, and provider routing.

What if we use an EHR that isn't on your integration list?

Katie still answers every call, handles intake, and captures all details. Your staff enters bookings into your EHR manually. Custom integration is available: tell us which EHR you use, and we will scope a build during your demo.
