Operations and growth for clinics and dental practices.

Compass AI Group helps Canadian dental and medical clinics find where the phone, the schedule and search results lose patients. A strong neighbourhood reputation can still go unseen online and unanswered after 5 p.m. We fix the process first and add technology and AI only where it pays, with PHIPA obligations scoped case by case.

About one in six Bearings Reports says: do nothing yet.

A 6 p.m. call, with the fix
A new patient with a cracked tooth calls a sample dental clinic at 6:10 PM. With the fix, the call is answered by the clinic's rules, the first available slot is booked, and a summary is in the front desk inbox by 7:45 AM.

FIG. 00A sample clinic, not a client’s. In gold, what the fix changes: the after-hours call answered by your rules and booked. No clinical advice is given; the dentist takes it from there.

S.01Where time leaks

The bottlenecks we see in clinics and dental practices.

  1. 01

    Calls to voicemail after hours

    A patient with a cracked tooth calls at 6 p.m. and gets a recording. Some leave a message. Many call the next clinic on the map.

  2. 02

    Great reviews, no search presence

    Hundreds of five-star reviews and a handful of Google clicks a month. No service pages, no structured data, nothing that tells search engines or AI assistants what the practice does or where.

  3. 03

    A desk that does four jobs

    Check-in, the phone, recalls, and insurance questions all land on the same two people. Recall lists slip. Hygiene chairs sit open.

S.02What we fix first

The fixes that usually come first.

Every engagement starts with the Bearings Report, so the first fix is the one with the clearest payback, not the newest tool.

  1. 01

    Map the patient path from search to chair

    A Bearings Report follows a new patient from the first search or call to the booked appointment, times each step, and puts a number on the patients lost along the way. It ranks what to fix first.

  2. 02

    A phone that is answered at 6 p.m.

    An AI receptionist answers routine questions about hours, location, and services, books and reschedules appointments, screens spam, and routes urgent calls by the rules your clinic sets. It does not give clinical advice. Built on Canadian-hosted infrastructure.

  3. 03

    Found for the neighbourhood term

    Service pages, neighbourhood pages, structured data, and Search Console and GA4 tracking so the practice shows up for the searches patients actually type, and so you can see the numbers monthly.

  4. 04

    Recalls that go out on time

    Recall and follow-up sequences drafted from your schedule data and sent on the cadence you approve, so hygiene chairs stay booked without the desk chasing a list.

S.03What we measure

What changes when it works.

Potential, not a promise. We set your baseline before anything is built, then measure the same things after, in writing.

Answered
After-hours calls handled by your rules, with a summary in the inbox by morning, counted against the calls that used to reach voicemail.
Found
Search clicks and impressions, tracked monthly against the pre-launch baseline.
Recalls
Recalls sent on schedule and the hygiene bookings that follow, visible in the schedule, not in a spreadsheet.
