What your callers ask

  • “Can I come in today? I have a toothache.”
  • “Do you take my insurance?”
  • “I need to move my appointment.”
  • “What are your opening hours?”

How it works in Canada

  1. Keep your number

    Forward the calls you miss from the phone you already use. Your callers dial the number they know.

  2. Get a local number

    A local number in Canada in minutes, with no paperwork, for your website, card and signs.

Forwarding codes for your phone company

Callers in Canada usually speak English and French. Vicem answers each caller in their own language, in any of 37 languages, and says it’s an AI in that language too.

After hours and urgent calls

A broken tooth or a swollen face doesn’t wait for opening hours. Vicem answers at night and on weekends, and when a caller says it’s urgent, it tells you right away.

For a real emergency, you can have Vicem tell callers to hang up and dial 911.

Appointments and requests

Vicem takes the request: the patient’s name, the reason and the times that suit them. You or your team confirm the time; it never promises one on its own.

An example call. Sam is an example name; yours says your name.

How a call goes

  1. Vicem

    Hi, this is Sam’s AI. This call is transcribed. How can I help?

  2. Caller

    Hi, I chipped a tooth last night and it really hurts. Can I come in today?

  3. Vicem

    I’m sorry, that sounds painful. I’ll make sure the dentist sees this right away. Can I take your name and the best number to reach you?

  4. Caller

    It’s Maria Lopez. This number is fine.

  5. Vicem

    Thanks, Maria. I’ve marked it urgent and passed it on. You’ll hear back as soon as possible.
