For Speech Therapy

Incoming Call...

AI Receptionist

"Yes! We have Thursday at 3 PM available with Alex. Would you like to schedule an evaluation?"

✓ Evaluation Booked • Thursday 3 PM

The Problem

SPEECH THERAPY PRACTICES
LOSE PATIENTS DAILY

You're losing patients every day while your phone goes unanswered. Parents call during sessions, no-shows waste your time, and your front desk can't keep up. There's a better way.

You Miss Calls During Sessions

A concerned parent finds your practice online at 8 PM, calls, and gets voicemail. By the time you check messages the next morning, they've already booked with another SLP who answered immediately.

The Cost
$3,600/month
Lost per unfilled schedule slot

Your Front Desk Is Overwhelmed

While you're in a therapy session, three more calls come in. Evaluation requests, insurance questions, cancellations, progress report inquiries—you can't be everywhere at once. Parents get frustrated waiting, and you lose new patients.

The Cost
60+ calls/day
Per speech therapy practice

Appointments No-Show and Revenue Disappears

You block off time for an evaluation, prepare materials, and wait. They don't show. You send one follow-up text that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no recovery, just wasted therapy time and lost revenue.
