Built for Primary Care practices

Turn primary care phone calls into booked appointments

Stop losing patients to voicemail and hold music. FrontDesk handles missed-call recovery 24/7, so every caller gets booked instead of lost.

The Problem

Why primary care practices lose patients to missed calls

These challenges cost practices thousands in lost revenue every month.

01

Highest call volume of any specialty

200+ calls per day during peak seasons overwhelms even the best front desk teams. Lines stay busy for hours.

02

Same-day requests can't wait

Sick patients need same-day visits. If they can't get through, they go to urgent care - and may not come back.

03

Hold times are the longest in healthcare

Primary care patients wait an average of 3+ minutes on hold. Most give up after 60 seconds.

04

Routine calls consume all bandwidth

Refills, lab results, and referral calls leave zero bandwidth for new patient acquisition.

The Solution

How FrontDesk handles missed call recovery

AI-powered missed call recovery built specifically for primary care practices.

01

Handles massive call volume

The AI answers unlimited simultaneous calls - no busy signals, no hold times, no matter the volume.

02

Triages by urgency

Same-day sick visits, routine follow-ups, wellness physicals - each is prioritized and scheduled appropriately.

03

Books across all providers

Multi-provider scheduling with awareness of provider panels, specialties, and availability.

04

Routes clinical requests

Refill requests, lab inquiries, and referral coordination are captured and routed to the right team.
