The Problem

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
PRACTICES ARE OVERWHELMED

You're losing patients every day while your phone rings off the hook. 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 When Parents Need You Most

A parent gets a referral at 8 PM, calls to schedule an evaluation, and gets voicemail. By the time you check messages in the morning, they've already booked with another practice that answered immediately.

The Cost
$3,500+
Lost per patient annually

Your Team Is Drowning in Calls

While you're in session with a patient, three more calls come in. Insurance questions, evaluation requests, scheduling changes—you can't be everywhere at once. Families get frustrated waiting, and you lose them to competitors.

The Cost
60+ calls/day
Per OT practice

Evaluations No-Show and You Lose Them Forever

You block off 90 minutes, 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 time and another empty slot on your schedule.
