Challenges

Close circle

High call volume and overwhelmed staff

3,000-5,000 inbound calls each month inundated the call center, requiring support from front office staff and pulling them away from in-office patients. 

450 monthly appointment requests

Staff spent hours chasing down patients who submitted forms on the website requesting appointments to get them on the schedule.

Close circle

Limited scheduling customization

The previous solution could not support scheduling rules specific to individual providers, insurance type, or visit reason, which compromised scheduling accuracy and providers’ trust in the system.

Close circle

Weak online reputation despite quality care

Relying solely on patients’ own motivation to leave reviews, the practice’s online reputation suffered — its newer location received only one review in its first year open.

Solutions

With 3,000–5,000 calls flooding the front desk each month — and three new providers joining the team — Nirschl Orthopaedic Center needed to open a new door for patients without sacrificing the scheduling precision its providers demanded. NextPatient's real-time integration with ModMed gave the practice both: a patient-facing experience that works on the patient's schedule and provider-specific rules that keep the right patients on the right calendars.

Self-scheduling that works around the clock

Patients book directly from the website — including nights, weekends, and holidays — absorbing demand that previously overwhelmed a 3–4 person call center and eliminating 450 monthly appointment requests that required manual follow-up.

Scheduling rules providers actually trust

Granular configuration by provider, visit reason, and insurance type means a hand/wrist patient only sees Dr. Root's availability and workers' comp cases get routed to the call center — so providers stay in control of who lands on their schedule.

Automated review requests that compound over time

Timed text messages sent two hours post-visit turn routine appointments into Google reviews, building the online reputation that drives patients to the website in the first place.
