For podiatry & foot-care practices

The patient with heel pain they can’t walk off books the practice that gets them in.

Take the booking and recall foot-care and diabetic checks, with every call answered through procedures and after hours.

What it is

An answered line, in your practice’s voice

Podiatry patients call when their feet hurt enough to act, and they want in soon. We answer every call, send your booking link, and handle insurance from a script you approve. Anything clinical goes to your staff.

Where it leaks

Every practice in this specialty loses the same four ways

None of them is a staffing problem you can hire your way out of, which is why they persist.

The new-patient call you never hear ringA first-time caller with foot pain is a patient and often a course of care. The desk is assisting in a procedure, and it rings out.

Routine and diabetic foot-care recalls slipPatients on a regular foot-care or diabetic cadence are predictable revenue, but the recall depends on a busy team. So it slips.

‘Do you take my insurance, and is a referral needed?’ stalls the bookingPatients want to know their plan is covered and whether they need a referral. That answer waits on a callback that never comes.

Follow-ups and post-procedure checks get missedPost-procedure rechecks keep patients healing and your schedule full, but only if someone reaches out. Otherwise the recheck drops off.

A normal day

Your voicemail box is a graveyard. Nobody visits.

**The tombstones tell the story.**Here lies the caller who left their number twice. Here lies the one who said 'call me back, it's urgent' four Tuesdays ago.

**Nobody's checking the plot.**Voicemail exists so you don't feel bad about missing the call. Checking it is a different, much rarer habit.

**Cart Gaze skips the cemetery.**It answers live, every time. No gravestones, because nothing gets buried in the first place.

**Every caller gets an actual conversation.**Real answers, real booking, no epitaph required.

FAQs

Fair questions

Does it give medical advice?

No. It handles scheduling and insurance from a script you approve, and routes anything clinical, like symptoms, wound care, or diabetic concerns, to your staff. It does not diagnose or triage beyond the rules you set.

Can it handle diabetic foot-care recalls?

Yes. It pulls the patients due on the cadence you set and sends them your booking link, while clinical questions go to your team so a person handles the care.

How do you handle patient privacy?

The builds are HIPAA-aware and run on BAA-backed vendors, and we default to a minimal data footprint, collecting only what’s needed to book or route a caller. We’re happy to walk your office through exactly what data is touched before you commit. HIPAA-aware means built on BAA-backed vendors; it isn’t a substitute for your own compliance review.

What does it cost, and how fast can we test it?

There’s no commitment up front. You begin with a free Growth Leak Audit on your own numbers, then a test agent on a forwarded number within about three business days, before it ever reaches your main line. Setup starts around $3,000 and scales with your call volume and integrations. Velaire Health care plans run $599/mo for after-hours recovery, $1,199/mo for full answering and booking, and $1,999+/mo once recall, follow-up, and reporting are included. It goes live only after QA passes and you approve it.
