Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers about our AI-powered solutions for healthcare and business

Do I need to be tech-savvy to use AI in my practice?

No. If you can write an email or text, you can use AI. These AI-powered tools are built for everyday workflows, not coders.

Can I safely use AI without risking PHI?

Yes. Start with non-PHI tasks like recalls, marketing, and patient education. Always de-identify clinical data when testing new workflows.

Will this make my practice sound robotic?

Not if you review and personalize outputs. AI is a draft generator — you keep the final say, so the message always reflects your practice voice.

How quickly can I expect to see ROI?

Many ODs see impact within weeks. Recalls and reminders show results almost immediately, while SEO blogs and marketing build momentum over 1–3 months.

What kind of results have other ODs seen with AI?

ODs report reducing no-shows by 15%, boosting patient compliance with plain-language handouts, and attracting new patients through AI-powered blogs and social content.

How much does it cost to get started with AI?

Most AI-powered solutions cost less than a single exam fee to begin using. Many ODs see ROI within weeks — often from just one or two extra appointments booked through improved recalls or marketing.
