Reviews from Physical Therapists

As a solo practitioner without a receptionist, I had a problem: either I had to interrupt the treatment to answer the phone, or the patient would call somewhere else. fonio has solved that. New patients reach someone right away, even in the evenings, when most people are looking for a therapist. Since then, I've had noticeably more initial appointments without having to hire a single person.

While I'm working with a patient on the treatment table, I can't answer the phone. And my colleague at the front desk is also responsible for processing prescriptions, billing, and scheduling appointments. In the past, that meant a busy line and frustrated patients. Since fonio took over, every call is answered immediately, appointments are booked right away, and I only get a brief summary by email. The team is much more relaxed.

The questions are the same every day: Do I need a prescription? When is the next available appointment? Where can I park? fonio answers all these questions right over the phone, without interrupting anyone on the team. We've easily automated 70% of our routine calls, and most patients don't even realize they're talking to an AI.

Our biggest problem was the lunch break and the time after 6 p.m. We were losing 10 to 15 calls a day, often from new patients with a prescription in hand who would simply call the next practice. Since fonio started handling calls outside business hours too, we hardly miss anything anymore. The calendar integration works perfectly, and appointments are entered directly.

What can the AI Phone Assistant do for Physical Therapists?

Handle calls 24/7

The AI Phone Assistant for physical therapists is available to patients at any time, helps schedule and manage appointments, and increases patient satisfaction. The AI Phone Assistant handles all calls for the practice, reducing the workload for practice staff and physical therapists.

Take Requests and Schedule Appointments

An AI Phone Assistant for physical therapists can give callers information about available appointments, average wait times for therapy, therapy recommendations, parking, and the practice's services and prices. The AI Phone Assistant also answers questions about prescriptions and referrals that may matter for an upcoming appointment at the practice.

Record calls

The AI Phone Assistant for physical therapists can record the call and send a transcript, or only the key information from the conversation, by email. The transcript always gives the physical therapist the caller's full name, phone number, and reason for calling, so follow-up questions are easy to handle.

Access practice data in real time during a call

The AI Phone Assistant is set up around the needs and requirements of each physical therapist. Thanks to this individual setup, the AI accesses the practice's database when calls come in and always follows your instructions. The AI Phone Assistant only gives callers information that it received during setup or that comes from the practice's existing records.

Advantages of Our AI Phone Assistant for Physical Therapy Practices

The main advantages of our AI Phone Assistant for physical therapy practices are higher patient satisfaction, automatic appointment scheduling, personalized conversations, and less pressure on the front desk. With the AI Phone Assistant, your practice is reachable around the clock. All the advantages of our AI Phone Assistant for physical therapy practices are detailed below.

Increased Patient Satisfaction

Our AI Phone Assistant for physical therapy practices increases patient satisfaction, because the practice is always reachable and callers are never stuck on hold due to limited opening hours, busy lines, or therapists who are with patients. Easy appointment booking, quick responses to requests, instant answers to questions, and better service all lead to happier patients.

Automatic Appointment Scheduling

With our AI Phone Assistant for physical therapists, appointments are scheduled automatically as long as the assistant has access to the practice calendar. Based on calendar availability, the AI Phone Assistant can arrange and book physical therapy sessions, other therapies, massages, and treatments. Automatic booking by the AI Assistant makes the practice noticeably more efficient over the long term.

Personalized Conversations

Our AI Phone Assistant for physical therapists personalizes every conversation: you choose the voice and greeting and set rules for how it behaves and talks with callers. The AI knows everything it needs about the practice, the physical therapist, and the classes and services offered. It also knows your opening hours, so it can answer callers' questions and requests as naturally as possible. Our AI Phone Assistant for physical therapy practices can access existing databases before a conversation begins. This lets the AI check whether the caller is already a patient and personalize the greeting.

Less Pressure on the Front Desk

Our AI Phone Assistant takes pressure off the front desk, because staff no longer have to answer calls during therapy sessions and treatments. With the AI Phone Assistant, physical therapists and front desk staff can give their full attention to patients and office work such as billing. Fewer calls mean physical therapists have more time for treatments and for the patients in front of them.

Available Around the Clock

With our AI Phone Assistant, physical therapists are reachable for their patients around the clock, even outside treatment hours, on vacation, or during lunch breaks. Being reachable 24/7 matters so that no important calls are missed, especially from new patients. The AI Phone Assistant answers calls for the practice either around the clock or only when no staff member is available.

Saves Time and Money

Our AI Phone Assistant saves physical therapists time, because constant calls no longer interrupt therapy sessions and treatments. An AI Phone Assistant for physical therapists also saves personnel costs. Especially in small physical therapy practices, nobody needs to be tied up answering the phone when an AI Phone Assistant is set up well.

No Language Barriers

With our AI Phone Assistant in your physical therapy practice, language barriers on the phone are a thing of the past. The AI Phone Assistant can talk with patients in more than 35 languages, which also helps patients who don't speak English well. You also don't need multilingual staff at the front desk. Our AI Phone Assistant for physical therapy practices is available in English, German, Italian, Spanish, and Dutch, among other languages.
