What is an AI medical answering service?
It is an AI that answers the calls of a medical or dental practice on the practice's own number, day and night, instead of a room of operators taking messages. Zanus AI answers every call in the caller's language, books and moves visits in the right provider's calendar, takes messages with the callback number read back and transfers what your rules send to a person. The same AI answers the website chat, the e-mail and the web forms.
What is the best AI for a medical clinic front desk?
One that runs every door of the front office and knows its limits. Zanus AI answers the phone, the website chat, the e-mail and the web forms of a medical clinic, books visits into each provider's calendar, keeps each patient's documents in their own file and hands clinical questions to your staff. Try it free for 7 days with your own website and judge it on your own patients' calls.
Can an AI replace a physician answering service?
For the routine calls, yes. It answers every call at once on your own number, books and moves visits, takes messages with the callback number read back and opens requests for staff. The calls your rules send to a person, such as clinical questions or the on-call physician, are transferred, and your colleague hears who is calling and why before the call connects.
Does it work as a dental answering service?
Yes. A dental office sets it up the same way: the AI answers new patients asking about cleanings, exams and accepted plans, books each visit into the dentist's or the hygienist's own calendar and places the recall and reminder calls. A caller with a toothache or a broken tooth hears the instruction your dentist wrote, and the AI never says whether it can wait.
Can a physical therapist use it for a series of sessions?
Yes. Each session is booked, moved or confirmed in the physical therapist's own calendar by phone, chat or form, and the reminder call goes out the day before, so a no frees the slot for another patient. Referral forms from a physician's office get a reply in seconds. The AI gives no exercise or treatment advice; those questions go to the therapist.
Will our receptionists be replaced by AI?
That is not the aim. The AI takes the repeat questions, the overflow and the after-hours calls, so the people at your desk can give their time to the patients at the counter. Each department chooses AI only, AI first or a person first.
Does the AI give medical advice or triage symptoms?
No. It gives no medical or dental advice, makes no diagnosis and does not judge how serious a symptom is. It answers only from the information your practice approved and hands clinical questions to your staff, as your rules say.
What happens when a patient's message is clinical or urgent?
Your practice writes an always-say rule with the warning signs. A caller who mentions one is told, in your approved words, to hang up and call emergency services, and nothing is booked. Clinical messages by chat, e-mail or form wait for your staff.
Does it replace our EHR or practice management system?
No. Zanus AI is the front office around them, at a medical clinic or a dental office alike: it answers, books, follows up and keeps the front-office record of every conversation. That record is never the chart; the clinical record stays where it is today.
Can a doctor's office keep its phone number?
Yes. A doctor's office keeps the number its patients already know and forwards it the way it would for any answering service: no porting and nothing to install. Turn the forwarding off and the line rings at the desk again, the same as before.
Which languages does it speak with patients?
The patient's own. The phone answers each caller in their language, the website chat speaks 40 languages, and a call can be routed to the colleague who speaks it, so a family who calls the dental office or the clinic in Spanish is answered in Spanish.
How much does an AI medical answering service cost?
Zanus AI is priced per company, never per seat, so every doctor, dentist, therapist and receptionist works under one subscription. You choose the modules the practice needs, the plans are on the pricing page, and you can hear it on your own calls first.
How is patient information looked after?
You set the rules for patient data. Call recording is off as shipped, each department receives only its own transcripts and staff see only the departments they are given. Whether your set-up meets your privacy obligations is decided by your practice and its advisors.
What is the difference between the 7-day free trial and the demo?
The free trial builds your own practice's sandbox from your website for 7 days, with no card. The demo shows the AI front office ready-made and arrives by e-mail in about 2 minutes, with nothing to set up.
