Incoming Call...

Patient

"Hi, I need to be seen today for a possible sprained ankle. What times do you have available?"

AI Receptionist

"We can see you today at 2:30 PM or 4:15 PM. I'll need to collect your insurance information. Which time works best?"

The Problem

URGENT CARE CENTERS
LOSE PATIENTS DAILY

You're losing patients every day to competitors who answer faster. Patients call at odd hours, no-shows waste your staff's time, and your front desk can't keep up with the volume.

You Miss Calls When Patients Need Care Most

A patient needs urgent care at 7 PM, calls, and gets voicemail. By the time your staff checks messages in the morning, they've already gone to the walk-in clinic down the street who answered immediately.

The Cost
$350/visit
Lost per missed patient

Your Front Desk Is Drowning in Calls

While checking in a patient, three more calls come in. Appointment requests, insurance questions, prescription refills—your staff can't be everywhere at once. Patients get frustrated waiting on hold, and you lose them to faster competitors.

The Cost
80+ calls/day
Per front desk staff

Appointments No-Show and You Lose Revenue

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