Finish Dermatology Cosmetic Intake on the First Call — Before Anyone Has to Call the Patient Back

Dermatology cosmetic intake captured on the first call — goals, prior treatments, allergies, medications — returned as a summary staff review and file.

The treatment asked about, the areas of concern, and what the patient hopes to change — captured while the caller is still on the line, not on a callback your coordinator has to land
Prior cosmetic treatments recorded with what was done, roughly when, where, and whether the patient was happy with the result
The screening questions your own intake form already asks — recent isotretinoin, cold sore history before lip treatment, pregnancy or nursing, prior reactions, current medications — asked in plain language and returned for provider review
Pre-consult instructions you specify read to the caller: what to bring, whether to send photos ahead and how, with the summary noting what was requested
A caller who describes an emergency is told to go to the emergency department or call 911; a medical, non-cosmetic concern raised mid-intake routes per your medical scheduling protocol
Consultation booked into the injector's, laser, or provider's slot and written to your EMR with the patient's name, date of birth and phone; the intake answers themselves come back as a pasteable summary staff review and file

How it pays back

The Consult Starts With the History Already Taken

Your provider reads the reviewed intake summary before walking in — goals, prior treatments, the screening answers — so consult time goes to examination, candidacy and the plan, not to questions the patient already answered on the phone.

No Phone Tag to Finish the Intake

Today a cosmetic inquiry books, then waits for the coordinator's callback, which turns into a voicemail exchange and ends with intake done at the visit. Capturing it on the first call changes the coordinator's job from collecting answers to reviewing them.

Same Depth of Intake During the Medical Rush

In a practice that runs medical and cosmetic dermatology off one phone line, cosmetic callers get the short version when the desk is working biopsy results and same-day rash calls. The AI gives every cosmetic caller the full intake, whatever the desk is doing.

You Decide What Is Asked and What Is Filed

The intake questions are yours, word for word if you like. The AI asks and records; it does not interpret answers, judge candidacy, or write clinical content into the chart. Staff review the summary and file it — the only things the AI writes to the EMR are the booking and the patient's demographics.

Frequently asked questions

Does this replace the intake call our aesthetic coordinator makes now?

It captures the same questions on the first call, so the coordinator reviews a completed summary instead of collecting it. You can keep a short confirmation touch before the visit if you want the personal contact; the part that used to depend on reaching the patient by phone is already done.

Can we use our own cosmetic intake questions instead of a generic script?

Yes. The questions come from your intake protocol — recent isotretinoin, cold sore history before lip filler, pregnancy or nursing, prior reactions, current medications, or whatever your form asks. The AI asks them in conversational language and records the answers in the summary. It does not interpret them or decide whether the patient is a candidate; that stays with your provider.

Do the allergy and medication answers get written into the patient's chart?

No. The AI writes the appointment booking and, for new patients, the name, date of birth and phone number to your EMR. Allergies, medications, history and goals are returned in a structured, EMR-pasteable summary that your staff review and file. The AI does not author clinical documentation.

What if the patient wants to send photos before the consultation?

You tell us how your practice accepts photos — patient portal, secure message, or bring them to the visit — and the AI gives the caller those instructions and notes the request in the summary. The AI does not receive, store, or assess images.

We run medical and cosmetic dermatology on one line. What happens when a cosmetic caller mentions a medical problem?

If the caller describes an emergency, the AI directs them to the emergency department or to call 911. A non-emergency medical concern — a changing mole, a rash, a question about a biopsy — is routed per your medical scheduling protocol, whether that is a medical appointment, a message to the clinical team, or a transfer. The AI does not triage the concern clinically.
