What the phone looks like for a Reading podiatry clinic
Reading and the wider Berkshire has a population of around 350,000, built on technology, professional services and some of the most expensive property outside London. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a podiatry clinic working across Caversham, Earley and Tilehurst most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
Foot pain stops people walking, so they ring the next clinic rather than wait for a call back.
Callwise answers on your own 0118 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.

Reading podiatry clinics ask us
Do we keep our 0118 number?
Yes. Your existing 0118 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how Reading customers reach you changes.
Do you work with podiatry clinics outside Reading?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Reading and everywhere across Berkshire is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.
Can it book home visits?
Yes, with the address, access notes and mobility details, so your round is planned properly rather than reconstructed from voicemails.
What about diabetic patients?
You can flag diabetes as a trigger so those calls are handled to your protocol and passed to a clinician rather than simply booked.
Does it work if I am out on visits all day?
That is the day it earns its keep. The clinic phone still gets answered by somebody who can book.
Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Reading customer would ask. It is the same assistant your callers would get, so if it does not convince you on the phone it will not convince them either.
