“This is the future of scheduling. Patients want a seamless, mobile way to book appointments and Nimblr’s new self-scheduling functionality gives them that. Scheduling is quick and easy, unlike other online schedulers that can easily overwhelm and frustrate patients. It has decreased our incoming call volume significantly while increasing new patient visits all while syncing the data to our DrChrono EHR,” said Dr. Adam Siegel of Modern Foot & Ankle.

Yet our patients can interact and use natural language with Holly without ever knowing she’s an automated 24/7 system. It’s like magic,” said Dr. Nadeem Vaidya of Retina Orange County.

“‘Touchless’ AI solutions for the healthcare industry are important now more than ever. With 80% of patients starting their healthcare journey online and the demand for telehealth skyrocketing, the competition for patients in this digital world is the new challenge in a post COVID economy,” said Amanda Light, Director of Growth of Nimblr. “Our AI solution coupled with DrChrono is helping physicians and their practices bring scheduling automation to a new level for patient attraction, engagement and loyalty.”

“Our world has changed since COVID-19, practices can continue to be successful and accelerate their business during the pandemic by integrating solutions like Holly by Nimblr.ai.
