AI Chatbot for Physical Therapy
Fill Your PT Schedule Without Chasing Every Lead by Phone
Prospective patients in pain want to start care now. FrontDesk's AI chatbot answers referral and insurance questions and books evaluations directly from your website — so leads don't cool off waiting for a callback.
The Problem
Why PT Clinics Lose Evaluations
Referrals go cold on hold
A patient with a fresh referral wants to start now. If they hit voicemail, they call the next clinic on the list.
“Do I need a referral?” confusion
Direct-access and insurance questions stop bookings cold. Instant, accurate answers keep momentum.
Evening and weekend interest
People research PT after work and on weekends — when your front desk is gone. Self-booking captures them.
Front desk juggling patients in-clinic
Your team is busy turning over treatment rooms; they can't also chase every web inquiry.
