Missed Call Recovery
Optometry practices: never miss a patient because of the phone
Your AI receptionist picks up every call, answers optometry-specific questions, and books the appointment — day, night, weekends, and holidays.
The Problem
Why optometry practices lose patients to missed calls
These challenges cost practices thousands in lost revenue every month.
Vision insurance calls overwhelm staff
VSP, EyeMed, Davis Vision - patients call constantly about coverage, and each call takes 5-10 minutes of staff time.
Annual exam reminders trigger callbacks
When patients receive recall notices and call back, hitting voicemail means they postpone another 6 months - or switch providers.
Optical sales require immediate answers
Frame availability, contact lens pricing, and order status questions need quick responses your busy team can't always provide.
Walk-in questions tie up phone lines
Helping in-office patients while the phone rings means prospective patients hear a busy signal or endless ringing.
