The missed-call problem

Sound familiar?

  • Front desk overwhelmed at open and close
  • Patients calling out-of-hours to book or reschedule
  • Clinical and emergency calls that must reach a person

Every one of those is a booking walking to a competitor. Ringmere answers before it does.

Questions from dental practices

Good to know.

Will it give clinical advice?
No. Ringmere never gives clinical, medical or emergency advice, it escalates anything clinical or urgent to your team immediately with context.
Is it compliant with patient data rules?
Patient data is stored in the UK, encrypted in transit and at rest, and it only uses the information you approve. Answering a call needs a few vetted sub-processors (telephony, AI, email), some of which process outside the UK under UK GDPR transfer safeguards. They are all named in our privacy policy, and a DPA is available.
Can it book NHS and private separately?
Yes, it books the services and appointment types you configure.
Is Ringmere an answering service for dental practices?
Yes, and a virtual receptionist too. Like an answering service, it picks up every call 24/7 under your business name. Like a virtual receptionist, it answers questions, takes messages and books appointments straight into your diary. Because it is an AI receptionist it costs from £49 a month, never puts a caller on hold, and on Growth and Pro replies on WhatsApp and text as well.
