The Problem

ACUPUNCTURE CLINICS
LOSE PATIENTS DAILY

You're losing new patients every day your phones go unanswered. People call during treatments, no-shows waste your appointment slots, and your front desk can't keep up. There's a better way.

You Miss Calls When It Matters Most

Someone searches for acupuncture relief at 9 PM, calls, and gets voicemail. By morning, they've already booked with another clinic that answered. New patients won't wait—they need help now.

The Cost
$3,500/month
Lost in new patient revenue

Your Front Desk Is Drowning in Calls

While you're treating a patient, five calls come in. New patient inquiries, appointment changes, insurance questions—your receptionist can't handle it all. Callers get frustrated, and you lose bookings.

The Cost
60+ calls/day
Per clinic location

Appointments No-Show and You Lose Them Forever

You block off treatment time, prepare your room, and wait. They don't show. You send one reminder text that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, just wasted time and empty appointment slots killing your revenue.
