Reviews from Doctor's Offices

Since fonio started handling our routine calls, our practice can focus in a whole new way. The only catch: the AI still sounds a bit too polite and formal at times, which confused some of our long-time patients at first. But the time saved is definitely worth it.

The Monday call spikes used to wear us out. With fonio, prescription requests now arrive by email, neatly organized.

Patients can now reach us even after 6 p.m. to cancel or reschedule an appointment. With strong accents or background noise in the car, the AI sometimes gets names wrong, so we take a quick look at the transcript. Still, it's a huge help to the team.

"Our front desk used to miss calls constantly during patient hours. Since switching to fonio, every call is answered 24/7, appointments are booked automatically, and our staff can actually focus on patients in the room."
