Three steps. No phone hardware.

Most optometry practices are done before their coffee gets cold.

  1. Tell us about your business + pick a voice.

    Paste your website URL or Google Business Profile — we scan it and write your AI receptionist's script in seconds, pre-tuned for optometry practices. Tweak anything before going live, then pick a voice from our library.

  2. Forward your missed calls to your new RingReady number.

    We give you a dedicated number. Forward unanswered calls there from your carrier — one dial code. The number on your business cards, website, and Google profile stays the same — RingReady only picks up the calls you can't.

  3. Get a text and/or email after every call.

    Caller name, what they wanted, urgency, estimated value, and a one-tap link to the full call details — the same kind of handoff optometry practices would want from a great front-desk hire. Pick SMS, email, or both.

Optometry FAQ

Optometry-specific questions, answered.

RingReady is configured to NOT collect protected health information during routine call handling — sidestepping the HIPAA business-associate scope. AI handles scheduling, vision insurance carrier ID, and practice info; clinical questions route to your staff. See our HIPAA guide.

Partially. AI captures the carrier (VSP, EyeMed, Spectera, Davis Vision) and routes the verification request to your billing team. Detailed eligibility (allowance balance, in-network confirmation) requires carrier portal access and is handled by your team.

Yes. RingReady handles unlimited concurrent calls at flat rate. August-September back-to-school surge typically runs 3x normal volume; AI absorbs it without overage charges.

Yes. Configure separate routing — kids' exams typically need a doctor with pediatric experience and longer slot times. AI captures the patient's age and books accordingly.

Yes — via Zapier. Common integrations: RevolutionEHR, Crystal PM, OfficeMate, Compulink. Every booking auto-creates an appointment record with non-PHI fields populated.
What others say

Trusted by Optometry professionals.

★★★★★

Back-to-school season is brutal — appointment requests pile up and we lose half to voicemail. RingReady absorbs the surge at the same flat rate. Vision insurance verification routing means our front desk only handles the cases that need a human. Booking volume up 28% during peak weeks.
