We Don't Just Answer
Your Phones — We Fill
Your Chairs

Your receptionist handles patients in the practice. NowNow catches every call she can't get to — after hours, during lunch, when the phone won't stop ringing. No one gets replaced. No call gets missed.

The daily reality of running a practice in SA

"Someone searched for a dentist near us. We didn't show up."

A patient in your area Googled "dentist near me" or asked ChatGPT for a recommendation. Your competitor showed up. You didn't. That patient never knew you existed — and you never knew you lost them.

"I check my phone and there's 9 missed calls after 5pm."

Your practice closes at 5. But patients search at 7pm, 9pm, Sunday morning. Every one of those calls goes to voicemail. 85% never call back — they just call the next name they find.

"My receptionist is stretched to the limit."

She's brilliant — checking in patients, pulling files, confirming tomorrow's list. But when all three phone lines ring at once, something has to give. NowNow catches the calls she physically can't get to.

"3 no-shows today. Again."

No-shows cost SA practices thousands per week. Empty chair, idle staff, and you turned away other patients for that slot. A WhatsApp reminder the day before cuts no-shows by 40%.

"Can you WhatsApp me the prices?"

You hear this 10 times a day. But there's no system to send it automatically. Your receptionist types it out manually. Every. Single. Time. Or worse — forgets entirely.

"23 reviews. Our competitor has 200."

12 happy patients walked out today. None left a Google review. Meanwhile the practice down the road has 200+ five-star reviews. Guess who gets recommended first — by Google and by AI.

"I spent R5k on Facebook ads and got zero bookings"

The ads worked — people clicked, people called. But nobody answered at 8pm on a Tuesday. The leads went cold. You didn't have a system to catch them. The money was wasted.

"I have no idea how many calls we actually miss"

No call log. No tracking. No dashboard. You're running a business on gut feel. Meanwhile your competitor knows exactly which calls convert and which don't — because they're tracking everything.

"We do great work but only have 12 Google reviews"

The practice down the road has 200+ reviews and gets all the new patients from search. Your happy patients would leave a review — if anyone actually asked them. Nobody does.

Works alongside your receptionist, not instead of her

NowNow fills the gaps in your day — the moments when your team is busy, away, or off the clock. No one gets replaced. Everyone gets backup.

8:30 AM — Monday rush

Three patients walk in. Both lines are ringing.

Moreen is checking in Mrs. Dlamini and can't get to the phone. NowNow picks up both calls, books a cleaning for tomorrow and answers a pricing question about whitening. Moreen never even knows she missed them.

NowNow handles the overflow
12:45 PM — Lunch break

Receptionist steps out for 45 minutes.

She switches NowNow on before heading to lunch. Three calls come in — a new patient enquiry, a reschedule, and someone asking about medical aid. All handled. She comes back to a full log of everything that happened.

NowNow covers lunch
3:15 PM — Bathroom break

Gone for 5 minutes. The phone rings twice.

Before NowNow, those calls went to voicemail. One was a new patient ready to book a R6,000 implant consultation. Now NowNow catches it instantly, books the appointment, and sends a WhatsApp confirmation.

NowNow catches every gap
6:42 PM — Practice closed

A patient chips a tooth at dinner. Calls your number.

Before NowNow: voicemail, they call someone else. With NowNow: the call is answered, the emergency is triaged, and an 8 AM appointment is booked. You walk in the next morning with a full schedule.

NowNow works after hours

"Your receptionist handles patients face to face. NowNow handles the phone when she can't. No one loses their job. Your practice just stops losing calls."

★★★★★
"We were losing 8–10 calls a day after hours and had no idea. Within the first week of NowNow going live, we booked 6 new patients from after-hours calls alone. That’s over R30,000 in treatment we would have lost to the practice down the road."

"I'll be honest, I thought this was another gimmick. Then a patient called on Saturday night with a broken crown and NowNow booked her in for Monday 8am. I only found out when I checked my dashboard Monday morning. That one call paid for 3 months of the service."

Answers for practice owners & managers

Still have questions? WhatsApp us and we'll walk you through everything.

No. You set up call forwarding from your existing business number to NowNow's line. Your patients dial the same number they always have — the experience is seamless.

Yes. NowNow speaks natural South African English with no robotic tone. On your consultation call, we will play you a live demo tailored to your practice. You can customise the voice and name to match your brand.

NowNow triages emergencies. If a caller mentions severe pain, bleeding, or trauma, NowNow advises them to go to the nearest ER and provides your emergency contact number.

We can have your full system live within 48 hours. You just set up call forwarding on your phone line and you're live.

NowNow asks for POPIA consent at the start of every call. All data is stored securely in your own Google Sheet — you own it, not us.

No — and that is not what we are here to do. Your receptionist is great at what she does, especially with patients face to face. NowNow works alongside her as a backup — catching overflow calls during busy periods, covering after hours and weekends, and handling the calls that would otherwise go to voicemail. Think of it as giving your front desk an extra pair of hands, not a replacement.

Month-to-month. No contracts. No cancellation fees. We earn your business every month by filling your chairs.
