Hi, do you treat plantar fasciitis? I've had heel pain for about 3 months and it's worse every morning.
We do - it's one of the most common things our clinicians see. An initial assessment is 45 minutes and I can offer Thursday 10:20 or Saturday 9:00. Persistent morning heel pain is worth assessing properly rather than waiting out.
Saturday please
Booked for Saturday 9:00. Pop me your email and I'll send the confirmation, directions and a short intake form so your first visit is all treatment, not paperwork. ✅
Where clinics leak patients

The gap between enquiry and booking is where new patients disappear.

Most clinics answer brilliantly - between 9 and 5, on the phone, when the desk isn't already busy. The leak is everywhere else, and it's biggest exactly when motivated patients are looking.

Evenings and weekends

Consultations get researched after work. An enquiry at 9pm answered at 9am the next day has usually already booked an assessment somewhere else.

The engaged-tone hours

Reception is with a patient, the phone rings out, and there's no message trail to rescue it. That call was possibly a full treatment plan; the ring-out cost nothing to fix.

The lapsed list

Hundreds of patients overdue a review or follow-up, courses that stopped halfway - revenue sitting in your booking system, waiting for a recall nobody has time to send.

What it handles

The front desk work, minus the front desk hours.

Trained on your clinic: your treatments, fees, practitioners, opening hours and booking rules. It answers only from what you approve.

01

New patient enquiries

Fees, availability, “what does the first appointment involve”, nervous-patient questions - answered in seconds, in your tone, with the next sensible question asked.

02

Booking, email first

Real slots offered in the chat, email collected before anything is confirmed, reminders sent to protect the diary from no-shows.

03

Treatment interest, qualified

Higher-value enquiries asked the right questions - symptoms duration, goals, budget comfort - so your clinicians inherit a warm, informed conversation.

04

Safe triage, always

It never gives medical advice. Red-flag symptoms and anything urgent are signposted properly and flagged to your team the same moment - with the full conversation attached.

05

Recalls and reviews

Lapsed patients politely re-invited through recall campaigns, and happy patients asked for a Google review at the right moment via the Review Engine.

Patients have already changed how they book.

80% of patients want to schedule appointments any time, from home or their phone - and the evidence on speed is blunt: enquiries contacted within a minute convert up to 391% better, and answering within the hour makes qualifying the enquiry about seven times more likely.

We already run this for UK clinics - London Foot & Ankle Surgery among them - and the pattern repeats: the clinic that answers at 9pm collects the patients the others leave waiting.

Pricing

Starting points.

Published prices are starting points for a typical single-site clinic; multi-site and high-volume systems are scoped individually with an itemised quote. One or two extra booked patients a month can cover the cost several times over - anchor it to your own treatment values.

Questions

What clinic owners and practice managers ask.

Will it give medical advice?
No, and that's a hard rule, not a setting. It answers clinic questions - fees, availability, what an appointment involves - and signposts anything clinical to your team or, when urgent, to the right emergency route. Red-flag symptoms are flagged to your team the same moment they appear.
How much does an AI receptionist for a clinic cost?
Done-for-you from £495/month plus £750 setup; the Full Front Desk with live phone answering from £995/month; and a self-serve version, Pikul Reception, opens this September. One or two extra booked patients a month can cover it several times over.
What about patient confidentiality and GDPR?
Your clinic stays the data controller; Pikul and the configured platform act as processors under a written DPA. Conversations are stored securely, sensitive cases route to humans, and everything is returned or deleted if we part ways. The security page covers the detail.
Our reception team is excellent. Why add this?
Because they're excellent 40 hours a week, and enquiries arrive across all 168. This covers the other 128 on every message channel and hands your team warm, qualified conversations each morning. Add the Full Front Desk and the phone side is covered too.
How fast can we go live?
A working receptionist can be answering in days: a focused discovery on your treatments, fees and booking rules, then testing until it sounds like your clinic. You sign everything off before a single patient sees it.
