Fresno, CA
Fresno multi-specialty groups field calls for cardiology, orthopedics, family medicine, dermatology. One central AI receptionist routes callers to the right clinic, handles appointments, and keeps each schedule current.

Instead of 'Press 1 for Ortho, 2 for Cardio,' the AI listens to the patient's complaint, routes intelligently, and connects them to the right team. One simple phone number serves the entire group.
Whether a caller books cardiology, orthopedics, or family medicine, the appointment is written directly to that clinic's EMR schedule. No double-bookings, no clerical delays, no coordination overhead.
Chest pain routes to cardiology and escalates immediately. Knee pain routes to orthopedics. Fever routes to primary care. Each specialty's rules are honored; AI learns practice protocols and enforces them automatically.
Instead of a generic on-call answering service, urgent calls are routed to the right specialty—cardiac symptoms to the cardiologist, acute orthopedic injuries to the orthopedic surgeon—with full clinical context.
Intelligent call routing
AI listens to chief complaint and routes to the correct clinic, no phone tree, no manual transfer
Specialty-specific protocols honored
Each clinic's triage rules, appointment types, and escalation criteria configured and enforced
Centralized urgent escalation
Urgent calls routed to the appropriate specialty's on-call provider with full symptom context
The AI asks the patient about their chief complaint or reason for visit. Keywords and patterns in the response trigger routing rules you define. Chest pain → Cardiology, joint pain → Orthopedics, etc. Your practice configures all routing logic.
Yes. Each clinic has its own EMR schedule, visit types, and availability rules. The AI respects all of them. Cardiology might offer 15-minute follow-ups and 30-minute new-patient exams; Orthopedics might have different slots. AI checks each clinic's real availability.
The AI handles the primary complaint and books the initial appointment. Your care coordination team can schedule follow-up visits with other departments after the first visit. The EMR tracks cross-clinic care.
Your on-call schedule can specify which specialty is covering each time window. Calls are routed to the appropriate on-call clinician (cardiology vs. orthopedics) with full context. Non-urgent calls are logged for morning triage.
Yes. If orthopedics is fully booked, the AI can offer a family medicine appointment or telehealth with a physician assistant, depending on the patient's needs and your practice rules.
