A call in your business Illustrative conversation · responses depend on your setup **Caller** “Where should I park for my first visit?” **Rinzo AI Receptionist** “I can explain the practice’s parking instructions. Which location are you visiting?” Next step **Reception if further help is needed** Why the first answer matters ## The person at the desk and the caller both need attention. Directions, parking, opening times, and appointment-request instructions are useful answers that do not require a clinical conversation. Make those details easy to get while reserving clinical and patient-specific questions for your practice team. Use your own business facts, instructions, and documents to shape the conversation. When a caller asks for a person, Rinzo puts them through to a destination you configure. If that person can’t take the call, it takes a message for them. [How the AI Receptionist works →](https://rinzo.ai/ai-receptionist.md) The calls you know well ## What callers can get help with. ### Finding and visiting the practice Share your address, accessibility information, parking instructions, and office hours from the information you supply. Keep branch-specific details clearly separated if you have several locations. ### New-patient questions Explain your published new-patient process and the general services offered at the practice. Connect callers to reception to discuss an appointment or any individual requirements. ### Reaching the front desk Route requests to book, reschedule, or discuss an existing visit to staff. Your team verifies patient details, checks the practice calendar, and confirms the next step. Your information. Your way of working. ## Give it the details your callers need. Begin with public office information and a route to reception. Before using AI answering for patient calls, review your practice’s privacy requirements and Rinzo’s published privacy terms. Keep patient records out of the knowledge base; the service does not access your clinical system. Start from the dental-clinic template: rinzo receptionists template dental-clinic drafts the greeting, instructions, common questions and destinations for a dental clinic, with blanks for your own prices, hours and policies that you fill in and check before publishing. Upload PDF, Word, text, or Markdown documents, review their extracted text, and publish your updates when ready. ### Start with these details - Public practice and location information - Parking and accessibility details - General new-patient process - Reception and office destinations Keep a route to a person or voicemail for questions that need more help. Beyond the first conversation ## The rest of your phone system is here, too. ### Reception phones on one system Give front-desk staff extensions and ring the available team together.

[See current availability](https://rinzo.ai/availability.md) and [how information is handled](https://rinzo.ai/privacy.md). ### Can it book a dental appointment? It can explain the booking process and connect the caller to reception. It does not connect to practice-management software; it can book into a Google Calendar you connect, though most practices keep appointments with reception. ### Can it answer treatment or insurance questions? Your clinical or reception team should handle advice, individual treatment questions, and coverage checks. The receptionist can share public practice information and transfer the call. ### Can it handle calls for more than one location? Yes. Keep each location’s address, hours, and parking information clearly separated and configure a reception destination for each office. ## Explore related industries [Medical & wellness practices →](https://rinzo.ai/industries/medical-practices.md) [Veterinary clinics →](https://rinzo.ai/industries/veterinary-clinics.md) [Salons & spas →](https://rinzo.ai/industries/salons-spas.md) [All industries →](https://rinzo.ai/industries.md) ### More in Health & wellness practices [Chiropractors](https://rinzo.ai/industries/chiropractors.md) [Physical therapy clinics](https://rinzo.ai/industries/physical-therapists.md) [Massage therapists](https://rinzo.ai/industries/massage-therapists.md) [Optometrists](https://rinzo.ai/industries/optometrists.md) Your business.
