Farmington Family Practice
Overwhelming call volume was getting in the way of the patient experience Farmington Family Practice wanted to deliver. By routing non-urgent calls to text through OhMD's Call-to-Text tool, the practice cut inbound call volume in half and turned multi-minute phone calls into responses delivered in seconds.

Numbers That Speak for Themselves
Call-to-Text didn't just cut down the number of calls coming in. It gave staff a faster way to resolve patient needs and freed up time that used to disappear into phone tag and long hold times.

Challenge
Overwhelming Call Volume Was Hurting the Patient Experience
Farmington Family Practice, like many busy family practices, was seeing call volume climb to the point where it was interfering with the experience they wanted to provide. Patients were frustrated by heavy reliance on phone calls, long waits, and repeated rounds of phone tag. Compounding the problem, the practice lacked a reliable answering machine or voicemail setup, meaning callers with non-urgent questions often had no good way to leave a message and wait for a callback.
