A two-location dental group put an AI receptionist on calls it was missing (about 500 a month), booking patients straight into the schedule. The vendor reports $134k in booked production from September 2025 to April 2026, including $34k in the first full month.
A Grapevine, TX chiropractic and acupuncture clinic with 150+ calls a month put a 24/7 AI on the phones. In the first 30 days it handled 172 calls and booked 32 new appointments, plus many text threads, so staff could focus on patients in the chair.
A dentist running two offices with a single receptionist put an AI on both phone lines. In its first 90 days it handled 1,700+ calls and booked 184 appointments into the practice software, including 12 new patients, about $230K in production.
