Sound Familiar?

Every Day Without a Receptionist Costs You Money

Receptionist Quit Without Notice

They walked out Friday. It's Monday morning and the phone is already ringing. You need someone now, not in two weeks when the temp agency finds a placement.

Maternity or Medical Leave

You knew it was coming, but finding a 3-6 month replacement who knows your systems, your patients, and your workflow? That's a full-time job on its own.

Fired for Underperformance

You finally let go of the receptionist who was losing you patients. Now you need someone better — immediately — while you search for a permanent hire.

After-Hours & Weekend Gaps

Your office closes at 5pm but patients call until 9pm. Every unanswered call is a potential booking going to the competitor who picks up.

Hiring Freeze, Phones Still Ring

Budget is tight but the calls don't stop. You can't afford a new hire, but you also can't afford to miss 30+ calls a week.

Seasonal Overflow

Summer, holidays, back-to-school — some months the phones ring off the hook. You need flex capacity without a full-time commitment.

Real Results

Businesses That Made the Switch

"Our receptionist went on maternity leave and we were panicking. Ava was answering our phones the next day. Three months later, we decided to keep Ava permanently — she books more appointments than our receptionist ever did."

Dr. Sarah Chen

Owner, Bright Smile Dental

"We fired our front desk person on a Thursday. By Friday afternoon, Ava was live. We didn't miss a single call over the weekend. The best part? Our patients had no idea they were talking to an AI."

Marcus Rivera

Owner, Rivera Plumbing & HVAC

Questions About Emergency Coverage

How fast can Ava actually start?

Within 24 hours of your onboarding call. We've had businesses go from zero coverage to Ava answering calls in under 6 hours for urgent situations. All you need is 15 minutes to tell us about your business.

Will my patients/customers know it's an AI?

The vast majority can't tell. Ava uses the latest natural language AI — she handles interruptions, pauses naturally, asks follow-up questions, and adapts her tone. We've had callers specifically compliment 'the new receptionist.'

What if I hire a new receptionist and don't need Ava anymore?

Cancel anytime with 30 days notice. No penalties, no fees. Many businesses keep Ava for after-hours coverage even after hiring a new receptionist — it's only $297/month for 24/7 backup.

Can Ava transfer calls to my team if someone needs a live person?

Yes. Ava can warm-transfer or cold-transfer calls to any number you specify — the office manager's cell, a specific extension, or an on-call line. You set the rules for when transfers happen.

What happens to the appointment details Ava collects?

You get an instant SMS summary and a detailed email with the full call transcript, caller's name, phone number, reason for visit, and preferred appointment time. Everything your team needs to confirm the booking.

Do I have to change my phone number?

No. You keep your existing business number. You simply set up call forwarding to Ava's number — either for all calls (24/7 coverage) or only when unanswered (after-hours coverage). Your patients call the same number they always have.
