Scheduling

AI receptionist reads your Kareo calendar and books callers into real, available slots—every time

When a patient calls, the AI checks your live Kareo schedule and offers open appointments. Patients book directly on the call. Appointments appear in Kareo instantly. No confirmation calls needed.

How it pays back

Patients never hear 'let me check and call you back'

The AI has live access to your Kareo calendar. Callers book on the spot and know their time slot before they hang up. No callbacks, no 'we'll fit you in sometime this week.'

Appointment appears in Kareo the moment the call ends

Your front desk sees the booked appointment in real-time. No manual entry, no reconciliation between a phone log and the calendar. One source of truth.

Patients respect your availability blocks and lunch hours

The AI only offers genuine open slots. Provider lunch hours, admin time, and blocked slots are protected. Your team controls what's bookable; the AI enforces it.

New patient appointments don't create scheduling conflicts

New patient intake takes longer. The AI reserves the right amount of time for a new patient visit, preventing the 15-minute-slot-for-a-complex-intake problem.

Real-time Kareo calendar integration

AI reads live availability; no stale slots

Instant appointment confirmation on the call

Patient knows their time before hanging up

Appointments sync to Kareo within seconds

No double-booking, no manual reconciliation

Established patient preferences honored

Regular patients offered their preferred provider first

Frequently asked questions

What if a patient wants an appointment time that's blocked or during lunch?

The AI only offers genuinely available slots. If the patient requests a blocked time, the AI explains it's not available and offers the next open slot. Your practice controls what's bookable.

Can the AI handle appointment types (e.g., new patient vs. follow-up)?

Yes. The AI can be configured to reserve different time blocks for new vs. established patient visits, and to offer appropriate appointment types based on the reason for the call.

What if the patient's preferred provider is fully booked?

The AI follows your protocol: offer the next available slot with that provider, or offer an alternative provider. This is configurable per practice.

Does the appointment confirmation go to the patient?

Yes. The AI reads the patient's contact info and can send a confirmation text or email with appointment details, or send a reminder before the visit.

What if a patient calls back to reschedule?

The AI checks for existing appointments in Kareo, offers to cancel and rebook, or escalate to staff if the patient needs to modify a complex scenario. Rescheduled appointments update in Kareo immediately.
