What is an AI receptionist for a medical clinic?

An AI receptionist is an AI answering service for doctors and clinics. It answers calls, texts, website chats and social media messages, answers common questions, follows up with inquiries and books appointments, 24 hours a day, using information your clinic has approved.

Will patients know they're talking to an AI?

Yes. We set your assistant to say it's an AI assistant for your clinic. It's the honest approach, and some states require it. Most people simply care that they get a fast, helpful answer.

Can it give medical advice?

No. It answers questions about your services, prices, hours and booking only. Medical questions go to your team, and anyone describing an emergency is told to call 911.

How do you keep patient information private?

We keep conversations limited to booking and general questions, and your AI receptionist never asks for or discusses health details. Anything medical is handed to your team.

Does it work with my calendar and clinic software?

[CONFIRM: list the calendars and clinic systems you connect to, e.g. It books directly into your GoHighLevel or Google calendar. Other systems depend on your software.]

What happens with urgent or complex calls?

Your AI receptionist hands them to your team, by transferring the call during office hours or sending an instant alert with the full conversation. Anyone describing an emergency is told to call 911.

Will it replace my front desk?

No. It takes the repetitive work and after-hours inquiries off their plate, so your team can focus on the patients in your office and the conversations that need a person.

Is it legal to text and call patients automatically?

Yes, with consent. US rules (the TCPA) require consent before automated texts and calls, and business texting numbers must be registered for A2P 10DLC. We handle the registration and only message people who reached out or agreed to hear from you.

How much does an AI receptionist cost?

Our services start from $300 per month, depending on your call and message volume and the channels you need. Typical market prices for human medical answering services run between $500 and $2,400 a month, according to industry pricing guides. It's also included in our Patient Acquisition System.

How fast can it be set up?

In 2 business days for calls, chat and DMs. Texting goes live as soon as US carriers approve your registration, which usually takes a few days.

Do you work with clinics in every US state?

Yes. We set up AI receptionists for cash-pay and private clinics across the United States, with your local phone number, time zone and hours.

Why inquiries slip through the cracks

Most clinics don't lose patients because of their ads. They lose them after the inquiry comes in. An AI answering service for doctors fixes the five gaps we see most often.
