Why clinics feel the pain

Patients hang up before a human ever says hello
Staff put premium callers on hold to finish paperwork
Supervisors lose visibility into real-time queue health
Surgeons need imaging-ready patients without 5 missed callbacks
Device reps and hospitals expect direct transfers during cases
Queensland callers ring Victoria clinics overnight, flooding voicemail.
