Incoming Call...

Patient

"Hi, I need to schedule a blood test. Do you have appointments available tomorrow?"

AI Receptionist

"Yes! We have slots at 9 AM and 2 PM tomorrow for blood work. Which time works best for you?"

✓ Appointment Scheduled • 9 AM

The Problem

LAB TESTING CENTERS
LOSE PATIENTS DAILY

You're losing patients every day because calls go unanswered. Patients need results at 9 PM, walk-ins overwhelm your front desk, and your staff can't keep up with appointment requests. There's a better way.

You Miss Calls When Patients Need You Most

A patient needs their test results at 8 PM, calls, and gets voicemail. They panic and go to your competitor's 24-hour lab. By morning, they've already booked their next screening elsewhere and you've lost them forever.

The Cost
$450/patient
Lifetime value lost

Your Front Desk Is Drowning in Calls

While you're processing specimens, five calls come in. Appointment requests, insurance verifications, test result inquiries—your staff can't be everywhere at once. Patients wait on hold for 10 minutes, then hang up and call your competitor.

The Cost
80+ calls/day
Per testing center location

Appointments No-Show and You Lose Revenue

You block time for a blood draw, prep the phlebotomy station, and wait. They don't show. You send one reminder text that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No rescheduling, no follow-up, just wasted capacity and lost revenue.
