Incoming Call...

Patient

The Problem

PHYSICAL THERAPY CLINICS
LOSE PATIENTS DAILY

You're losing patients every day your schedule has gaps. Patients call after hours, no-shows waste your therapists' time, and your front desk can't keep up. There's a better way.

You Miss Calls When Patients Need You Most

Someone's doctor refers them at 6 PM, they call, and get voicemail. By the time you check messages in the morning, they've already booked with another clinic that answered immediately.

The Cost
$3,200/month
Lost per therapist slot gap

Your Front Desk Is Drowning in Calls

While you're treating a patient, three more calls come in. Insurance verifications, appointment requests, cancellation requests—you can't be everywhere at once. Patients get frustrated waiting, and you lose bookings.

The Cost
60+ calls/day
Per clinic location

Appointments No-Show and You Lose Them Forever

Your therapist clears their schedule, preps the treatment room, and waits. The patient doesn't show up. You send one follow-up text that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no recovery, just wasted time and lost revenue.

The Cost
