A new patient with tooth pain doesn't leave a voicemail - she calls the next clinic. Here's one after-hours call, from first ring to booked appointment.
Book a free 30-minute callThe clinic, caller and schedule on this page are fixed example data. The conversation shows the workflow we build - answering, booking, confirmation and a hard boundary on medical questions.
Eight to ten in the evening is when people finally sit down and make the call they've been putting off. The preview above runs on fixed example data: move it forward, then ask the medical question at the end, and watch where the agent stops and a human takes over.
Can I get an appointment?
The question that keeps a practice full, asked most often when the front desk has gone home.
The call comes in - during lunch, after closing, or when every line is busy. It gets answered on the first ring, every time.
The agent introduces itself as the clinic's AI receptionist and works in the clinic's own voice and script.
It follows your schedule rules - which doctor, which slots, how much notice - and offers real options, not a form to fill later.
It books, reschedules or takes a message, collects the callback number, and sends the confirmation by SMS.
Everything lands on one morning list for the front desk: who called, what they need, what was booked, and anything flagged for a human.
Every call answered - after hours, weekends, lunch breaks and busy lines.
Booking against your real schedule rules - doctor, slot length, notice period.
Rescheduling and cancellations handled the same way, with the slot freed up.
New-patient basics captured on the call: name, number, reason for visit.
SMS confirmations and reminders with the clinic's name on them.
A morning handoff list with transcripts, bookings and flagged calls.
Hard boundaries: no medical advice, ever - your escalation rules take over instead.
Honest caller experience: the agent says it is an AI receptionist, in your clinic's voice.
Answered on the first ring, booked into tomorrow's 10:30, confirmation text before she hangs up.
The agent doesn't diagnose. It shares the clinic's own guidance line, flags the call for the doctor, and books the appointment instead.
Verified, moved to a new slot, old slot freed. The change is on the morning list, not buried in voicemail.
Answered from the clinic's script in seconds - no appointment needed, no front-desk time spent.
Words you define - chest pain, heavy bleeding, trouble breathing - trigger your escalation rule immediately, not a booking flow.
No. It never diagnoses or recommends treatment. Medical questions get the clinic's own guidance line and a flagged callback from the doctor - that's a hard boundary, not a setting.
Yes. It introduces itself as the clinic's AI receptionist in the first sentence. In our experience callers care about getting the appointment, not about who books it.
It follows your schedule rules out of the box - doctors, slots, notice periods. Writing directly into your practice-management system or calendar is part of the setup we do with you.
It takes a message with the caller's number and reason, flags it for a human callback, and tells the caller honestly when to expect one. No dead ends, no fake promises.
You define the emergency words and the escalation rule - for example, play your urgent-care guidance and hang up the booking flow. It never tries to handle an emergency itself.
English and Hindi are standard in our builds; others are set up per clinic. It follows the caller's lead within the languages you enable.
We build the receptionist that answers when your front desk can't.
