Orthopedic Surgery Phone Problems: Reducing overflow traffic with AI Receptionist Automation

Marketing spikes or seasonal surges torch SLAs when there isn’t elastic coverage. Canadian clinics juggle bilingual expectations and provincial privacy acts. Booking time-sensitive trauma and joint cases demands phones that triage STAT consults immediately.

Why clinics feel the pain

Sudden spikes crash the phone tree
Multi-location groups can’t rebalance quickly
Leadership lacks data to justify headcount
Surgeons need imaging-ready patients without 5 missed callbacks
Device reps and hospitals expect direct transfers during cases
Patients expect English and French coverage even for after-hours triage.
