Incoming Call...

Patient

"Hi, I need to schedule a hearing test. My insurance is Blue Cross. Do you accept it?"

AI Receptionist

"Yes! We accept Blue Cross. I can schedule your hearing evaluation for tomorrow at 2 PM with Dr. Chen. Does that work?"

The Problem

AUDIOLOGY CLINICS
KEEP LOSING PATIENTS

You're losing patients every day your phones go unanswered. Seniors call when your staff is busy, no-shows waste appointment slots, and your team can't keep up with scheduling calls.

You Miss Calls When Patients Need You Most

A patient with sudden hearing loss calls during lunch, gets voicemail, and hangs up. By the time you call back, they've already booked with another clinic that answered immediately.

The Cost
$3,500/patient
Average lifetime value lost

Your Staff Is Drowning in Scheduling Calls

While your audiologist is fitting hearing aids, three patients call to book appointments. Insurance questions, hearing test requests, follow-up scheduling—your front desk can't keep up. Patients get frustrated waiting, and you lose bookings.

The Cost
60+ calls/day
Per front desk staff

Appointments No-Show and You Lose Revenue

You block an hour for a hearing test, prep the equipment, and wait. They don't show. You send one reminder text that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no recovery, just wasted time and lost revenue.
