I'd like to book a check-up next week.

Caller
Tuesday morning, if possible.
Receptionist
I'm checking that against the clinic's calendar — that slot is taken, would another time suit you?

Features

What the receptionist can do.

Capabilities depend on the calendar, records and email set-up agreed with each clinic.

Incoming calls

  • Answers incoming calls routed to the AI agent
  • Responds to common questions using information provided by the clinic
  • Answers questions about services, treatments and prices only where those details have been provided and configured
  • Says so when information isn't available, rather than inventing an answer

Appointment booking

  • Asks for the patient's name, phone number and email address
  • Asks for their preferred appointment date and time
  • Checks availability against the connected appointment calendar or other configured source
  • If the slot is already booked, tells the patient and asks them to choose another date or time
  • Records the appointment and relevant patient details in the configured system or sheet

Appointment management

  • Handles rescheduling and cancellation requests
  • Verifies the relevant appointment details before changing a booking
  • Updates the connected appointment records when the change succeeds
  • Sends confirmation emails to the patient and the clinic/dentist contact for successful bookings, reschedules and cancellations, as configured
  • Only confirms a change once the operation has actually succeeded

Patient information & follow-ups

  • Retains and retrieves relevant patient and appointment information through the configured data system
  • Supports authorised patient callbacks or follow-ups where the calling workflow has been set up for that purpose
  • Updates the relevant sheet or connected records after successful actions
Ongoing support from Biggbee

We manage the agent, so you don't manage the technology.

Biggbee manages and supports the configured agent. The clinic isn't left to run the whole technical system itself. The scope of support is agreed with each clinic.

  • Ongoing support for the clinic's AI receptionist
  • Maintenance of the agent and its clinic-specific configuration
  • Error diagnostics and troubleshooting
  • Error notifications sent to the clinic's designated main email address, so reported problems can be investigated and resolved
  • Updates to clinic information, FAQs, workflows and other agreed configuration
  • Support for the connected appointment workflow, sheet and email notifications
  • Help adjusting the set-up when your processes or requirements change
How it works

From your clinic phone to a confirmed appointment.

  1. Clinic phone
    The clinic's existing number
  2. Forwarding / transfer
    Per the agreed call routing
  3. Virtual number + AI receptionist
    Answers routed calls
  4. Availability + clinic info
    Calendar or availability source, and clinic-provided details
  5. Records + confirmation emails
    Configured sheet / records and emails
01

Connect the calls

The clinic uses a virtual phone number for the AI receptionist. Calls from the clinic's existing number can be forwarded or transferred to it, according to the agreed call-routing setup.

02

Answer and assist

When a call is routed to the agent, it answers, uses the clinic's configured information to respond to patient questions, and handles supported appointment requests.

03

Check appointment availability

For bookings, it collects the patient's name, phone, email and preferred date/time, checks the connected availability source, and asks the patient to pick another slot if the time is unavailable.

04

Record and confirm

After a successful operation, the agent updates the configured appointment record or sheet and sends the appropriate confirmation emails to the patient and the clinic/dentist contact. Rescheduling and cancellations follow the same principle.

05

Ongoing support

Biggbee provides the agreed maintenance, diagnostics and support, with error notifications routed to the clinic's designated main email address as configured.

Good to know

  • The receptionist handles calls routed to it, according to the clinic's configured call-routing arrangements. Clinics have their own operating hours.
  • Availability checks, records and confirmation emails work only with the calendar, sheet and email set-up that is actually connected for your clinic.
  • It supports your reception team; it doesn't replace all reception staff or handle every possible patient situation.
