The problem in Bethesda
A Montgomery County practice with 3,000 active patients fields 80 to 150 calls a day. Industry studies put no-show rates at 10 to 25 percent for primary care and higher for specialties, and most no-shows were never reminded. Staff turnover at the front desk is constant. Meanwhile, employees are already pasting patient details into free AI tools, with no policy in place.
What we do
Answers every call 24/7, books and reschedules, 15 languages.
Reminders, recall and no-show recoveryText and email reminders, recall campaigns, waitlist fills.
Reviews and new-patient flowReviews after each visit; new-patient inquiries answered in minutes.
AI Use Policy and staff trainingA written policy plus the 12-hour AI at Work course for your team.
How it works
- FREE Business Audit. 15 questions, your score instantly, a written report within one business day.
- We build it. Our team sets up the system, your number, calendar and scripts in 2 to 3 business days (about a week for the AI receptionist).
- You approve and go live. We test every call flow with you, then switch it on.
- We keep it running. Monthly check-ins, script updates and reports. No contract.

Bethesda by the numbers
Bethesda is a dense, high-income community just over the DC line: a walkable downtown of office towers, restaurants and medical suites around the Bethesda Metro and the Wisconsin Avenue and Old Georgetown Road corridors, with NIH and Walter Reed anchoring a large cluster of physician, dental and specialty practices. Around the downtown are older single-family neighborhoods of brick colonials and newer rebuilds, most with basements.

Frequently asked questions
Is the AI receptionist appropriate for a medical office?
It handles scheduling and administrative questions only. Clinical, urgent and prescription calls are transferred to the people you designate. It never gives medical advice.
What about HIPAA?
The receptionist and reminders collect only the fields you choose and store them in your CRM. We provide a data-handling summary and a written AI Use Policy, and we recommend your compliance officer review both. We do not sell or train on your data.
Does it integrate with my EHR?
The receptionist books into Google Calendar, Outlook or the CRM calendar; for EHR scheduling we set up a hand-off workflow your front desk approves. Tell us your EHR during the FREE audit.
Do you serve practices outside Bethesda?
Yes: Chevy Chase, North Bethesda, Rockville, Potomac and across Maryland, DC and Virginia.
How long is the staff training?
About 12 hours: four live 3-hour sessions, scheduled around clinic hours, with 60 days of self-paced access afterward.
Is there a contract?
No. All plans are month to month. The AI receptionist starts with a 14-day FREE trial.
