Gastroenterology Phone Problems: Reducing missed calls with AI Receptionist Automation

Every specialty loses revenue when phones roll to voicemail or ring until patients give up. Canadian clinics juggle bilingual expectations and provincial privacy acts. Prep instructions, anesthesia clears, and STAT bleeds overwhelm small GI desks.

Why clinics feel the pain

• GI staff can’t pick up because they are chairside

• Providers discover referral voicemails days later

• High-intent new patients abandon after the third ring

• Nurses get stuck calling patients back about prep confusion

• Referrals bounce between ASC and clinic numbers

• Patients expect English and French coverage even for after-hours triage.

How MedReception AI fixes it

Answer every line instantly

Katie AI greets callers in under one second, authenticates them, and routes by provider or intent without humans touching the call stack.

Summaries replace voicemail

Victoria AI transcribes, tags, and drops action items into your EHR or task lists so the team never chases scratchy audio again.

Escalation paths stay human

If the call is urgent, our automations warm-transfer to nurses with full context instead of cold-dropping patients on hold.
