The app, Call Optimizer, presents the information that the dental staff needs to have a positive and effective patient interaction. When the patient calls, a box automatically appears on all of the enabled computer screen displaying relevant information that is integral to the patient's care.

  • Previous and upcoming appointments: Know the course of treatment for the patient so staff can quickly address questions and book future appointments.
  • Accounts Receivable: Outstanding balances becoming increasingly challenging to collect on as time passes. Know how much money is owed during each call, allowing your staff to initiate payment and discuss billing questions.
  • Insurance Benefits: With each call, the remaining benefits are displayed so that the front desk can communicate potential costs of upcoming procedures.
  • Notes: Keep track of the most recent patient notes, so appropriate courses of treatment can be scheduled ensuring the patient receives excellent care.

"Front desk staff spends hours each day looking up patient details to answer phone inquiries and set up appointments. This delays the answering of other incoming calls and causes extended wait times for patients. With Call Optimizer, all the relevant information is automatically presented, allowing dentists to save as much as $2,800 a month and improve relationship with their patients." – Vijay Sikka, CEO of Sikka Software
