Yes. Many Fresno practices deploy the AI to handle nights, weekends, and holidays—freeing staff for daytime priorities. Others run AI full-time, routing office-hours calls to staff as needed for flexibility.
Most patients appreciate instant voice contact—no hold, no voicemail. Your practice can customize the greeting to be transparent about the AI. If a patient prefers a staff member, the AI transfers them.

Integration is straightforward for supported EHRs. Your IT team or our specialists configure the connection—usually a few hours with no patient-facing downtime.
