The case for change

Every patient who calls and gets voicemail is a patient lost.

The problem

Your front desk is with a patient. The phone rings. The call goes to voicemail.

BackBone

Every call answered. Always.

Your AI receptionist picks up within three rings — in a natural New Zealand voice — even when your whole team is mid-treatment.

The problem

New patients won't leave a voicemail. They ring the next clinic instead.

BackBone

Captured and booked — before they hang up.

Name, contact, reason for calling, and an appointment booked directly into your clinic's calendar. No voicemail tag, no leaks.

The problem

Calls outside business hours go nowhere. You never even find out who called.

BackBone

Always on. Nights, weekends, public holidays.

The same calm, professional answer at 9pm Sunday as 9am Monday. Patients book when they want to book — not when you're at the desk.

Our guarantee

The risk is ours, not yours.

Three guarantees, written down, in plain language. Read them properly.

Live fast — or it's free

Your AI receptionist goes live within 24 hours on Connect, or 7 days on Complete. If we're late, your first month is free.

Never lose a patient

Once live, every call your agent receives is answered or captured. If the agent ever has an issue, calls route straight through to you.

We fix it free

If our agent ever drops a call it should have caught, we fix the cause free — and you don't pay for the time between the failure and the fix.

Working with Backbone

Honest reviews from the businesses we work with.

We're building our AI Receptionist with our founding cohort right now. These reviews are from existing Backbone clients across our wider work — same team, same approach.

"They really take the time to understand how your business actually operates and then build solutions that make things run smoother day to day — rather than forcing you into something generic."

What it does

Built for the calls your clinic actually receives.

Every BackBone AI Receptionist is custom-trained on your clinic — your services, your booking flow, your tone. No templates.

24/7 call answering

Every call answered within three rings. Day, night, weekends, public holidays — never a voicemail again, never another lost new patient.

Books on the call

Direct appointment booking into your existing calendar system, with automatic confirmations.

Captures every detail

Name, contact, reason for calling. Sent to your team for callback if the patient prefers.

Recorded & transcribed

Every call recorded and transcribed. A full, searchable record of what was said.

No leads dropped

If a patient hangs up without booking, we capture what we can and notify your team straight away.

How it works

A guided onboarding from first call to live deployment. We handle every part of the build.
