AI Receptionist · Medical

Your front desk for appointment scheduling, on autopilot

FrontDesk answers, schedules, and follows up for medical practices automatically — freeing your team to focus on the patients in front of them.

The Problem

Why medical scheduling is so difficult

These challenges cost practices thousands in lost revenue every month.

01

Visit type complexity

Annual physicals, sick visits, follow-ups, lab work, procedures - each needs different time slots and providers.

02

Multi-provider coordination

Booking with the right doctor based on specialty, panel, and availability requires expert-level scheduling knowledge.

03

Same-day request surges

Sick patients calling for same-day appointments create scheduling chaos - especially during flu season.

04

Referral coordination

Incoming referrals need to be scheduled with specific providers for specific reasons - adding complexity.

The Solution

How FrontDesk handles appointment scheduling

AI-powered appointment scheduling built specifically for medical practices.

01

AI identifies visit type

Through natural conversation, determines whether the patient needs a sick visit, follow-up, physical, or procedure.

02

Provider matching

Books with the right provider based on specialty, panel, insurance, and patient preference.

03

Urgency prioritization

Same-day, next-day, and routine requests are scheduled based on clinical urgency and availability.

04

Comprehensive confirmation

Patients receive prep instructions, arrival info, and what to bring.
