AI Receptionist · Ohio
AI Receptionist for Ohio Dental Practices
A voice AI that answers every call in under two seconds, books directly into your practice management system, and never takes a lunch break. Deployed across Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati and the rest of Ohio.
Three comparable metros mean statewide marketing rarely works — local responsiveness does. That is the local context a AI receptionist has to work inside.
What it does not do is pretend to be a clinician. Anything outside the knowledge you configure — clinical judgement, unusual insurance situations, complaints — is handed to a human, warm-transferred during hours and logged with a full transcript after hours.
Ohio follows HIPAA and offers a data-protection safe harbour for entities with a written security programme; Wavez's controls support that posture.
What changes in the first month
Answers on the first ring, always
No hold music, no queue, no busy signal — including when three patients call simultaneously.
Books into your existing PMS
Real appointments in real columns, not a callback list somebody has to work through tomorrow.
Runs 24/7 at a fixed cost
Nights, weekends and holidays included, with no overtime, sick days or turnover.
Every call transcribed
Searchable transcripts and outcomes give you visibility your front desk never could.

Running a AI receptionist in Ohio
Wavez follows your local clock. Greeting, quiet hours, escalation windows and reminder timing are all set to Ohio time, so a 7am caller and an 11pm caller each get the right treatment.
Coverage is identical statewide — Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo and every smaller community in between run the same configuration, because the software attaches to your phone number rather than to a location.
- Local Ohio hours and quiet-hour rules
- Signed BAA before any patient data is processed
- Dentrix, Open Dental, Eaglesoft, Curve and Dolphin supported
- English and Spanish handling included
- Flat monthly pricing with no after-hours surcharge

A practice that made the change
We were missing 40% of our calls. Now we miss zero — and patients can’t tell it’s AI.
