Inbound call automation for healthcare practices.

Clinics, dental offices, and specialty practices where the front desk is the bottleneck between patients and care.

APPOINTMENT SCHEDULINGPATIENT ROUTINGINTAKE CAPTUREAFTER-HOURS TRIAGE

The problem

Healthcare practices run on appointments. When a patient calls to schedule, reschedule, or ask a question and can't get through, they either give up or go elsewhere. Meanwhile, front desk staff are juggling check-ins, insurance verification, and paperwork — the phone is one of five things competing for their attention.

The result is a constant tension between in-person patient experience and phone availability.

  • Patients hear hold music or get voicemail during busy clinic hours
  • Scheduling calls take 3–5 minutes each, tying up staff repeatedly
  • After-hours calls for appointments go unanswered until morning
  • Clinical questions mixed in with routine scheduling requests
  • New patient inquiries — highest lifetime value — get the same queue as everything else

What changes with Audexly

The voice agent handles the scheduling layer entirely — answering calls, checking availability, booking appointments, and sending confirmations. Clinical questions and urgent matters are identified and routed to the appropriate staff member with full context.

  • All calls answered immediately, including evenings and weekends
  • Appointment scheduling completed without staff involvement
  • New patient calls identified and prioritized automatically
  • Clinical questions routed to nurses or providers, not front desk
  • Structured patient information captured and synced to your PM system
Example Deployment

Multi-location dental practice — 4 dentists, 2 offices.

A growing dental group handling 80+ inbound calls per day across two locations, with a shared front desk team of three.

The situation

The practice was growing but the front desk wasn't scaling with it. Adding a second location doubled call volume but the team couldn't hire fast enough. Patients calling for routine cleanings waited in the same queue as emergency calls. New patient inquiries — often from Google Ads — frequently went to voicemail.

After deployment, the voice agent handles all initial scheduling calls, confirms insurance information, and routes clinical questions to the dental assistants. Emergency calls are flagged and transferred immediately.
