Central Pros
Central Cons
"We were drowning in calls and website chats, missing about 40% of them during patient appointments. Central's Voice and Chat agents handle everything now. We've booked 60+ new patients in the last month alone, and our front desk can finally focus on the people actually in our office."
Dr. Sarah Chen, Founder, Riverside Family Medicine
