This Week’s Episode
Before AI receptionists, only about 25% of patients would leave a voicemail. Today, around 80% will actually complete the conversation with an AI receptionist instead.
That’s one of the stats Laura Nelson, VP of AI at Mango Voice and founder of Front Office Rocks, has seen as more dental practices start using AI to answer their phones.
We get into the biggest bottlenecks at the front desk, why scheduling is still so difficult to automate, what today’s AI tools do well, and where they still fall short. We also talk about how technology can take repetitive work off your team’s plate so they can spend more time doing the things that actually require a person.
If you’ve been trying to separate the hype from what’s actually useful, I think you’ll like this conversation. Laura has spent years training front office teams, so she brings a practical perspective instead of just telling everyone AI is the answer to everything.
