๐Ÿ‘๏ธ AI Receptionist for Optometry

Keep Your Chair Full, Every Exam Room Every Day

Ava answers calls during exams, explains OHIP coverage, books appointments, handles optical inquiries, and sends annual recall texts, automatically.

Sound Familiar?

Every optometry clinic deals with these challenges. There's a better way.

๐Ÿ“ต

Calls Lost During Exams

You're in a darkened exam room mid-procedure. The phone rings and the receptionist is helping a walk-in. That caller books elsewhere.

๐Ÿฅ

OHIP Coverage Confusion

"Does OHIP cover my eye exam?" The answer depends on age and medical status: and answering it 30 times a day eats your staff's time.

๐Ÿ‘“

Frame & Contact Lens Inquiries

Patients call to ask about brands, pricing, and turnaround times. These calls are low-urgency but high-frequency and they pile up.

๐ŸŒ™

After-Hours Booking Requests

Patients want to book an eye exam at 8 PM when they remember their prescription is overdue. Your voicemail doesn't convert, your competitor's AI receptionist does.

Caller

Hi, I need to book an eye exam. Am I covered under OHIP?

I'm 34. I have diabetes though.
