Fresno CA
Fresno practices leave patient calls unanswered during peak hours and after-hours, driving them to competitors. Katie answers every call, books appointments, and captures new patients—automatically.
A Fresno medical practice averaging 30 calls per day loses calls to voicemail during peak hours. Each missed call is a missed appointment, a missed procedure, a missed referral—and a patient who goes to your competitor.
Your front desk staff spend hours returning voicemails and fielding angry repeat callers. Katie handles the first call, books or triages them, and logs everything—so your staff doesn't inherit a backlog at 9 AM.
You don't need to spend more on marketing. You just need to answer the phones you already have. Katie converts incoming calls into booked appointments or urgent escalations—capturing revenue from callers who are already looking for you.
Fresno urgent care, primary care, and specialty clinics operate on margin. Every patient call after 6 PM or on Saturday has high intent—they need care. Katie answers those calls and books the patient before they decide to go to a larger ER or clinic.
Every call answered
No voicemail, no busy signal, no patient abandonment
Appointment booking on first contact
Patients book during the initial call instead of playing callback tag
Staff time freed for clinical work
Receptionists focus on patient care, not voicemail management
Practices with 2–4 staff answer phones during business hours and typically lose calls to voicemail, hold queues, or abandoned calls. After-hours, all calls go unanswered. For a clinic averaging 40 calls per day, that adds up to missed appointments weekly.
Hiring is expensive (salary, benefits, training, turnover) and still leaves after-hours calls unanswered. Katie is a fraction of a full-time salary and works 24/7 without burnout, turnover, or vacation. Most practices combine Katie with 1–2 skilled receptionists who focus on complex calls and patient relationships.
Yes. Katie sounds natural, understands context, and is upfront: 'Hi, this is Katie, an AI receptionist for [Clinic Name]. I'll help you book an appointment or get you connected to our team.' Patients appreciate immediate answers and availability—and Katie transfers to a human for anything complex.
Practices typically see improvement in booked appointments and reduced cancellations because patients feel heard and get confirmation on the first contact. You also reduce the risk of negative reviews from patients who couldn't reach you. The exact impact varies by specialty, volume, and cancellation rate, but the improvement is consistent.
Setup takes 1–2 business days. We port your phone number, configure your EMR connection, set your hours and triage rules, and run a test call. You go live with zero disruption to your current system.
