Cut costs and boost efficiency — your AI receptionist works 24/7, always on script, without the expense of a front desk hire.

Your AI receptionist is always available — greeting patients, answering questions, and handling calls with perfect consistency. No breaks, no downtime, no payroll overhead. By automating routine front desk tasks, you save thousands in labor costs while ensuring every caller gets a professional, on-brand experience 24/7.

What determines the setup fee?

Two things: (1) the number of scripts you want (greeting, booking, cancellations, voicemail fallback, etc.), and (2) the number of FAQs we program. More content takes more hours, which increases the setup fee.

How long does setup take?

Setup will never take more than two weeks. Typical timelines: Lean (2–3 days), Standard (~1 week), Advanced (~2 weeks).

Does Calla replace my front desk?

No. Calla supports your team—answering instantly when they’re busy or closed, booking appointments, and logging everything for staff review. That said, we are actively working on a complete replacement option in the future.

Does Calla make outbound calls or verify insurance?

No. Calla is inbound-only and does not verify insurance.

Can Calla work with my existing office number?

Yes. We can connect Calla to your existing line so every call is answered, recorded, and transcribed—even when a human picks up.

Is Calla HIPAA compliant? How is data secured?

Yes. Calls are encrypted and access-controlled. Transcripts and recordings are stored securely.

What PMS systems can Calla book into?

PMS integration will be discussed during a discovery call to ensure it matches your setup and workflow.

How does Calla handle after-hours and peak times?

Calla answers 24/7 and never puts patients on hold. Everything is logged with recordings/transcripts for fast follow-up.

Can we customize the voice and name?

Yes. We tune voice, name, and phrasing (including pronunciations like “No-B-S D-D-S”) during setup.

What languages are supported?

English by default, but we can add any languages you want programmed into your bot.
