Short answer: At a private clinic, dental practice or diagnostic center, a booking often depends on a single call. dooCall automatically records calls on the ordinary SIM phones of front-desk staff and patient coordinators, shows missed calls and sends recordings to the CRM. Medical information is sensitive, so plan access rights and consent in advance.
Where does a clinic lose patients?
Patients usually meet the front desk before they meet a doctor. If the line is busy or the receptionist sounds cold, the patient calls the next clinic on the list.
Typical cases:
- Inbound calls go unanswered during the morning rush.
- A patient asks the price but nobody explains what the visit includes or how long it takes.
- A booked patient gets no reminder call and doesn't come.
- A treatment plan is given but nobody calls about the next stage.
Hiya's 2024 report found that people leave 46% of calls from unidentified numbers unanswered. That is why it matters that the clinic calls patients from a number they already know.
Why are front-desk calls hard to see?
The receptionist checks patients in, takes payments and answers the phone at the same time. They can't stay tied to a VoIP headset at a computer. Many clinics use a mobile phone, but those calls are not stored anywhere.
The owner sees the outcome but not the cause: how many calls were missed this month, who didn't call back, which conversation ended without a booking.
How does dooCall work in a clinic?
dooCall is installed on the front-desk phone (Android 10+) and records every incoming and outgoing SIM call. Recordings are stored encrypted on servers in Uzbekistan, and only the owner and authorised users can listen.
In the cabinet:
- A missed-calls report to call patients back.
- Call counts and talk time per employee.
- A dashboard for 1, 3 and 7 days.
- Search and export for every recording.
If the clinic uses Odoo, Bitrix24 or amoCRM, the recording is linked to the patient record.
What changes with dooCall?
- Missed calls are recovered. Staff call back from the list at the end of each day.
- Reminder calls are visible. The owner can check whether tomorrow's patients were called.
- A front-desk standard emerges. Good calls become training examples for new staff.
- The number belongs to the clinic. Patients save the clinic's SIM number and answer it next time.
- Complaints are easy to check. "I was told a different time" can be settled with the recording.
Handle medical information carefully
On a front-desk call patients often describe their condition, and that information needs extra protection. So:
- Give listening rights only to the people who need them.
- Tell patients the call is recorded for quality purposes.
- Get written consent from employees.
- Set retention periods and rules in an internal policy.
- Uzbekistan's Law ZRU-547 "On Personal Data" applies; consult a lawyer.
dooCall stores recordings on servers in Uzbekistan. Since 16 April 2021, personal data of Uzbek citizens must be stored inside the country (DLA Piper). This is not legal advice.
AI analysis tuned to your front-desk script
dooCall's AI analysis is live, and Deep Vision configures it for your clinic's script. For a front desk the AI checks, for example, whether the receptionist greeted the patient, gave the appointment time, address and preparation clearly, answered the price question fully and stayed polite. It costs 549 so'm per minute. Before sending medical conversations to AI analysis, decide separately how patients are informed and how consent is handled.
Frequently asked questions
Should doctors' phones have it too? Not necessarily. Most clinics start with the front desk and patient coordinators.
Does it work on iPhone? No. iOS does not allow call recording, so the front desk needs an Android phone.
How much does it cost? 49,000 so'm per phone per month, with a 14-day free trial. AI analysis is extra at 549 so'm per minute.
What if we have several branches? All branch front desks appear in one cabinet.
Who can listen to recordings? Only the cabinet owner and the users they authorise.
