For dental and medical clinics
The clinic phone, answered while your team is with patients
Your front desk is also your treatment room team. When patients call while everyone is chairside, WoneAssistant answers, books, and routes, and makes sure anything urgent reaches a person.
The phone rings when your hands are busy
Appointment calls cluster at opening, lunch and close, exactly when staff are stretched. Patients who reach voicemail often book elsewhere, and each unfilled chair has a cost.
Clinics also carry obligations: patient information is sensitive, and an assistant must know where its authority ends.
How it works
How patient calls are handled
- Step 1
Greet and identify the need
New patient, existing patient, reschedule, billing or urgent concern.
- Step 2
Book against real availability
Appointments are placed in the clinic calendar with the details staff need.
- Step 3
Answer practical questions
Opening times, location, parking, preparation instructions and which services you offer, from information you approve.
- Step 4
Pass urgent matters on
Anything the clinic defines as urgent goes to a named staff member, and the assistant does not give clinical advice.
In practice
Eight o’clock, three chairs full
A patient calls to move a check-up. The assistant finds a Thursday slot and rebooks it.
A new patient asks whether you accept their enquiry type and what to bring. The assistant answers from your published information and books a first visit.
A caller describes severe pain. The assistant flags it urgent and connects the on-call staff member with a summary.
