to get Ava live on your phones
Sound Familiar?
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.
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.
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.
Your office closes at 5pm but patients call until 9pm. Every unanswered call is a potential booking going to the competitor who picks up.
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.
Summer, holidays, back-to-school — some months the phones ring off the hook. You need flex capacity without a full-time commitment.

Real Results
"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."

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.
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.'
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.
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.
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.
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.
Every missed call is a lost customer. Get Ava on your phones within 24 hours and stop the bleeding. Free 14-day trial — no risk, no contracts.
