Rose City Family Dental

The front desk at Rose City Family Dental struggled to handle incoming calls during peak morning hours while simultaneously checking in patients and verifying insurance. Potential new patients were routinely sent to voicemail and would simply call a competing clinic instead. Frequent robocalls and insurance solicitations further congested the phone lines, blocking patients with urgent dental needs and burning out staff.

The practice deployed SkipCalls as a 24/7 AI receptionist with call forwarding triggered after three unanswered rings. The system was configured with bilingual English/Spanish support to serve Portland's diverse population, automated spam blocking to filter telemarketing calls, and message-taking for prescription refill requests. Staff received instant lead alerts via a mobile app, and setup was completed in under five minutes.

The practice gained 18 additional new patients per month by capturing after-hours inquiries that previously went unanswered. The front desk reclaimed 12 hours of staff time per week previously lost to administrative and spam calls. After-hours call answer rate reached 100%, and zero spam calls now reach the front desk.

• After-hours coverage is a direct revenue driver for dental practices: capturing calls after 5 PM converted into a measurable new patient pipeline.
• Spam filtering alone freed significant staff bandwidth, reducing burnout without adding headcount.
• A lightweight AI receptionist layer (sub-5-minute setup) can deliver immediate ROI for small practices without complex integration work.
