Is it right for a small private clinic?
It was built exactly for that size. A large clinic staffs a call centre; in a solo practice — doctor, dentist, physiotherapist, aesthetician — the phone lands on whoever is mid-treatment. The assistant takes over the answering and the appointment booking, and you stay with the patient in front of you. No equipment, no switchboard, no technical skills.
What happens with an urgent case?
The assistant isn't a doctor and doesn't play one: it gives no medical advice and makes no clinical judgement about what's urgent. The moment a caller describes distress or asks for urgent help, it stops scheduling and passes the call to a human — you, or a number you've set. And to be plain about it: it's a receptionist, not an emergency line.
Does the agent book and reschedule appointments on its own?
Book — yes; reschedule — not on its own. It closes new appointments itself: it checks your Google Calendar for a free slot, and the appointment is created during the call. When a patient asks to cancel or move one, it writes the request down and passes it to you — and it can offer a new slot, after checking availability, and book it as a new appointment. The principle is simple: the assistant only adds to your calendar — it never deletes or moves an event itself.
What about medical confidentiality and privacy?
The assistant asks only what's needed to book: a name, a phone number, the reason for the visit in a word or two. It doesn't ask for medical details beyond that, conversations are handled with discretion and used only to run the service, and the summaries go to you and no one else. The moment a caller gets into personal medical territory beyond the booking, it offers to hand the call to you.
Will my older patients manage?
Yes — because for them nothing changes. They call the same number and speak ordinary Hebrew: no app, no link, no “press 1” menus. The assistant answers calmly and without rushing, and introduces itself as a voice assistant at the start of the call. And anyone who'd rather talk to a person just says so — the call is passed to you.
How much does it cost for a clinic?
The first 7 days are free, with 30 minutes of real calls — and no credit card to leave. After that, it's a subscription from 199 ₪ a month (before VAT) with the phone number included — far less than a human medical answering service billed per call. Need English or French for your patients? Both are available as a paid add-on.
