No patient goes unanswered
Patients call to book appointments, request prescriptions, ask about opening hours, services, or insurance - usually when the line is busy or the receptionist is helping someone in person. Every missed call is a patient who books elsewhere. Calligator answers every call, responds to common questions, schedules appointments, and captures patient details so no enquiry gets lost.

When does Calligator answer for your practice?
Line busy
Monday morning, three people call at once. The receptionist is talking to one patient while the others hear a busy signal and book elsewhere. Calligator handles the calls that would otherwise be lost - every caller leaves their details and reason for the visit.
Scheduling an appointment
A patient calls to book a follow-up visit. The receptionist is busy with someone at the desk. Calligator collects the patient's name, reason for the visit, and two or three preferred time slots - then passes a ready appointment request to the receptionist. No double-booking, no missed patients.
Prescription request
A regular patient calls asking for a repeat prescription. Instead of waiting on hold, Calligator takes the details - medication name, patient data, preferred pick-up - and logs the request in the call summary. The doctor reviews and approves it when available. The patient doesn't need to call back.
After-hours call
It's 6:30 PM. A patient wants to book an appointment for tomorrow, but the practice is closed. Instead of a missed call - Calligator answers, captures their details and preferred time slot. In the morning, the receptionist has a ready list of patients to call back.
Service questions
Someone calls asking whether the practice accepts public insurance, what services are offered, and how much a private consultation costs. The receptionist is helping a patient at the desk. Calligator knows the answers to common questions and handles the call independently - the patient gets information, and the practice doesn't lose a potential visit.
