The problem

Patient demand is outgrowing
front desk capacity

Call volume keeps rising. Reception capacity doesn’t. The result is missed patients, delayed care and constrained practice growth.

Peak demand hits when your team is busiest.

Calls spike while staff are helping patients, processing referrals and managing the clinic.

Missed calls can become missed patients.

Patients who cannot get through may delay care or look elsewhere.

Finding, replacing and training staff is harder than ever.

Great front-desk staff are difficult to find, costly to replace and take time to train.

The Front Desk solution

Answer. Understand. Act.

Medow’s AI Front Desk works alongside your reception team on your existing phone lines, giving your practice additional capacity without changing how patients contact you. You decide what Medow answers and the rules it follows.

01

Every call answered

Medow can answer multiple calls at once, so patients aren't left waiting and your reception team isn't constantly pulled away from the patients in front of them.

Frequently asked questions

What it does

Does Medow's AI Front Desk replace our reception team?

No. Front Desk works alongside your reception team on your existing phone lines, giving your practice additional capacity without changing how patients contact you.

What does AI Front Desk do on a call?   

It answers, works out what the patient is calling about, and either completes the request or hands it to your team. It books and amends appointments directly in your practice management system, answers common questions about the practice, and gathers the details your team needs before a call reaches them.

Can it answer more than one call at once?   

Yes. Front Desk answers multiple calls at the same time, so patients are not left waiting when demand peaks and your reception team is with the patients in front of them.

What happens when Medow cannot handle a request?  

The call is passed to your reception team under the rules you set. The patient does not have to start again. The reason for the call and all previously gathered information are transferred, ensuring your team has the full context when they pick up.

How do we see what happened on a call?   

Every call is listed in the Front Desk dashboard that your team will have access to, with the reason for the call and the outcome, alongside a full transcript. Calls that need a person are surfaced and prioritised, so your team works from a short list rather than a call log.

Patients and clinical calls

Do patients need to do anything differently?  

No. Patients call the same number they always have.

Do patients know they are not speaking to a person?   

Front Desk identifies itself when it answers, so patients understand who they are speaking to from the start.

Can a patient ask to speak to a person?   

Yes. If a patient asks for a member of staff, the call goes to your team under the rules you set.

Does it handle calls outside our opening hours?   

One of the benefits of adding Front Desk to your team is that it can work 24/7 outside of regular work hours, so that patients are never left waiting.

Setup and going live

Do we need new phones or a new number?   

No. Front Desk works on your existing lines and your existing number.

How long does setup take?

Setup is done with you before go-live, typically within 2 weeks. Your Customer Success Manager works through your appointment types, referral rules and escalation paths, and nothing goes live until your practice has approved it.

Can different specialists in the practice have different rules?

Yes. Booking rules, appointment types and escalation paths can be set for each specialist rather than applied across the practice.

How does it handle referrals?

Front Desk asks for referral details in line with your practice referral policy and records them against the booking in your practice management solution, so that no patient turns up to the clinic without one.

Control and configuration

How much control do we have over what Medow answers? 

You decide which call types Front Desk handles, what it says and when it hands over to your team. Any change can be tested in a dedicated environment before it reaches patients.

Can we change things once we are live?

Yes. Your Customer Success Manager works with you to adjust the configuration as your practice changes, and changes are tested before they reach patients.

Security and privacy

Where is our data stored?

In Australia, in Australian data centres. Patient data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and our information security is independently audited to ISO 27001.

Are calls recorded, and do patients need to consent?

Yes, all calls are recorded to give your team full oversight of how Front Desk works, and how it handles tasks and conversations. Patients are notified as soon as the AI answers the phone in accordance with legal requirements across Australia and New Zealand. This is no different to when you call banks where all calls are for “training and quality assurance purposes” regardless of whether an AI or human answers the phone.

Trying it and support

Can we try it before committing?

Front Desk can be added to your Medow subscription on a monthly or annual basis. Both of which are covered by a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Who supports us once we are live? 

Every practice is paired with a Customer Success Manager who knows your specialty and your systems, backed by doctors, advisers and technical specialists.
