# AI Receptionist for Veterinary Clinics

AInora builds AI voice agents for veterinary clinics and animal hospitals. The AI answers every call 24/7, triages emergencies to the on-call DVM, books wellness and surgery visits, runs vaccination reminders, and handles refill requests. Integrates with Cornerstone, eVetPractice, ezyVet, AVImark, ImproMed, IDEXX Neo, and Provet Cloud.

## The Problem

- **30%+ of veterinary calls go unanswered** during business hours at most clinics. The next clinic on Google answers first.
- **Each missed new-patient call costs $250+ in first-visit revenue**, with lifetime patient value far higher.
- **Emergencies happen at 9pm.** Bloat in a deep-chested dog, suspected antifreeze ingestion, seizures, severe trauma. The AI recognizes urgent symptoms and routes the call to the on-call vet or the nearest 24-hour ER.
- **Vaccination compliance erodes.** Without proactive reminders, owners forget DHPP, rabies, FVRCP, Bordetella boosters. Lapsed-client recovery is a constant manual chore.
- **Refill requests turn into voicemail tag.** NSAIDs, thyroid, atopica, insulin - chronic medications need quick turnaround. The AI takes the request, checks last-exam recency, and routes to the prescribing vet.

## How AInora Solves It

The AI answers inbound calls instantly, pulls the patient chart by phone number (so it knows species, breed, age, last visit), assesses urgency from symptoms, checks DVM and exam-room availability, and books the right appointment length for the visit type. SMS confirmation goes out immediately. Bookings, vaccination updates, and call notes write back into your PIMS so the technician walks in fully briefed.

For emergencies, the AI triggers your escalation rules: route to the on-call vet, or direct the owner to the nearest 24-hour emergency hospital with the address and phone number ready.
