Appointment Reminders & No-Show Reduction for Orthodontic Practices

{"faqs":[{"answer":"Yes. CallMyLeads offers HIPAA-aligned configuration for dental and medical clients, which means approved scripts only — no diagnosis or treatment advice. Callers always know they're talking to AI, every caller can reach a human, and consent and telemarketing quiet-hours rules are followed with opt-outs honored immediately.","question":"Is the AI receptionist HIPAA-aligned for a dental practice?"},{"answer":"Nothing goes to voicemail. Inbound calls are answered 24/7/365 — nights, weekends, holidays, and peak season. If your team is with a patient and a call slips through, the missed call triggers an instant text-back with an offer to book, and overflow calls are handled so no patient waits on hold.","question":"What happens when a patient calls our orthodontic office after hours or during a busy adjustment block?"},{"answer":"It starts with a free ~15-minute scoping call where we settle the plan and quote a one-time flat setup fee upfront. We connect your lead sources — phone lines, website forms, ads, chat, and referrals — set your response rules, and integrate with your existing CRM and calendar. There's no contract; it's monthly and you can cancel anytime.","question":"How long does setup take for an orthodontic practice?"},{"answer":"Practice management software typically sends reminders but can't answer a call at 7pm, instantly text back a missed call, or hold a two-way conversation that ends in a booking. CallMyLeads answers every inbound call 24/7/365, books appointments with confirmations and reminders, nurtures not-ready leads until they book, and pushes everything into your existing PMS and calendar — so it complements what you have rather than replacing it.","question":"How is this different from the reminder features in our practice management software?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Connect your lead sources","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"In a free ~15-minute scoping call, we connect your phone lines, website forms, ads, chat, and referral sources into one response system — with a flat setup fee quoted upfront and waived on annual plans."},{"step":"2","title":"Set your response rules","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"You decide the first message, qualification questions, what counts as a qualified lead, and when to route calls to your team.
