A typical conversation
What it asks, what it keeps, what happens next.
Northside Physio Clinic is a fictional business, but the conversation is exactly how ReceptOwl works.
Northside Physio Clinic
Customer
Hi, could I get in with a physio this week?

You can, of course. I’ve Wednesday at two or Friday at quarter past nine — which is better for you?

The problem
Where enquiries get lost.
- 01
Clinicians can’t answer mid-session
In a small clinic, the person treating patients is often the person answering the phone. Every call during a session is a missed call.
- 02
Evening enquiries go cold
People look for a physio in the evening, when the pain is on their mind. A voicemail doesn’t book them in.
- 03
Admin eats clinical time
Rescheduling, insurance receipts and “do you treat…?” questions pile up between appointments.
Built for your front desk
The questions it answers. The details it takes.
Handles
- New and follow-up appointment bookings
- Which treatments you offer, and with whom
- Fees you publish and your cancellation policy
- Health insurance receipts and claim questions, from your approved answers
- Opening hours, location, parking and accessibility
- Moving and cancelling appointments within your rules
Collects
- Name and mobile number
- New or returning patient
- Type of appointment — not symptoms or history
- Preferred practitioner, days and times
- How they heard about you, if you’d like to know
What happens next
Every enquiry ends with a clear next step.
- 01
Booked appointment
Where your booking system can be connected and tested, it books real slots with the right practitioner.
- 02
Appointment request
Otherwise, a complete request for your team to confirm, with the patient told when to expect it.
- 03
Clinical questions to a clinician
Anything about symptoms or treatment becomes a call-back task with a short summary.
- 04
Reminders and forms
A reminder the day before and your intake form link, where the patient has agreed.
Straight answers
Straight to you when it matters.
ReceptOwl handles the everyday on its own. You decide what should come straight to you — these are the usual rules, and yours may differ.
Comes straight to you when there’s…
- Anything about symptoms, injuries, treatment or medication
- Someone who sounds distressed or at risk — with your approved safety message
- Complaints and billing disputes
- Insurance questions beyond your standard answers
- The patient asks to speak to someone at the practice
What it won’t do
- Give medical advice, triage symptoms or recommend treatment
- Collect medical history in the conversation
- Confirm a slot unless your diary is connected and tested
Works with what you use now.
Clinic booking systems vary. Where yours offers an integration we can use and test, ReceptOwl books directly with the right practitioner. Where it doesn’t, appointment requests go to your team and patients are told you’ll confirm.
A good fit if…
- Clinicians answer their own phones between sessions
- You miss calls during treatment hours
- Evening enquiries are common
- You want fewer admin calls interrupting clinics
Tailored demo
Build your receptionist.
Answer six quick questions and watch it take shape. We then build a demo around your business — your services, your hours, your customers’ questions — and show you how it handles them.
- A demo built on your own services, hours and questions
- Your receptionist, with the name and manner you chose
- A clear picture of going live: channels, connections, cost
Free, no obligation. We never contact your customers, and nothing is connected to your systems for the demo.
