Background

A busy private dental clinic in Greater London was struggling with a growing number of missed appointments, especially during early morning and late afternoon slots.

The clinic had a full-time receptionist, but with over 60 calls per day — many of them peak-hour appointment confirmations or cancellations — managing the front desk and the phone simultaneously became increasingly unmanageable.

The Challenge

  • High no-show rate: Averaging 8–12 missed appointments per week
  • Staff overload: Receptionist juggling in-clinic patients and incoming calls
  • After-hours black hole: No system to handle cancellations after 6 PM
  • Voicemail bottlenecks: Over 30% of patients didn’t leave a message

The clinic knew they were losing revenue — and damaging the patient experience.

The GoZupees Solution

The clinic implemented an AI voice agent trained specifically for dental practice workflows. Within days, the voice agent began:

  • Calling patients 24–48 hours before appointments to confirm
  • Offering real-time rescheduling when patients were unavailable
  • Handling all inbound calls after hours (6 PM – 8 AM)
  • Logging cancellations instantly, opening up slots for rebooking
  • Answering common patient queries (location, parking, costs)

The setup took under 3 days and integrated directly with their practice management system.

The Results

Within 6 weeks, the clinic saw:

  • 52% drop in missed appointments
  • 87% fewer unanswered calls
  • 11+ hours per week saved in admin time
  • Improved schedule utilisation, especially for high-value treatments

The receptionist, instead of being overwhelmed, now focused fully on the in-practice patient experience — while the AI handled the phone line.

“It felt like we hired a second receptionist overnight — but one who never gets tired or misses a call.”
— Practice Manager
