How it pays back

No More Overflow Calls Lost

Mesa eye practices handle scheduled exams, walk-in emergencies and referral intake calls all at once. When your front desk is full, Katie picks up every call. Patients reach a real receptionist instantly instead of hearing a busy signal or voicemail.

Frequently asked questions

How does Katie handle calls for multiple Mesa locations?

You set up routing rules for each location and provider. When a caller asks for a specific clinic or eye doctor, or when Katie needs to route based on urgency, she sends the call to the right place. Appointments book across all your locations in one conversation with no transfers.

What happens to patient information Katie captures?

New patient name, date of birth and phone number write directly to the correct location's EMR. Medical history, allergies, insurance details and intake questionnaire answers are captured as a structured, EMR-pasteable summary that your staff review and file in the patient chart. No clinical documentation is written by the AI; your clinicians decide what goes in the record.
