Why it matters
The problem this solves.
The challenge
Most dermatology practices only accept bookings during office hours, which means after-hours requests go to voicemail.
What it costs
Patients who reach voicemail call the next practice on the list. By morning, the slot is filled — elsewhere.
The Chatref way
Chatref answers every after-hours booking request, asks the right questions, and guides the patient to the correct appointment
The Chatref solution
How Chatref handles after-hours scheduling.
A patient visits the practice website at 11 pm wanting to book a mole check. Chatref asks a few questions to identify the visit type, then presents available booking options or captures their details for a morning confirmation — no voicemail involved.

Dermatology practices filling schedules around the clock.
How practices use Chatref to capture booking requests the moment patients ask — day or night.
We used to lose cosmetic consultation requests every evening. Now Chatref captures them the moment someone asks, and Monday starts with a confirmed schedule instead of a voicemail pile.
After-hours booking used to mean callbacks the next morning. Now patients book in real time and we just confirm.
It routes medical and cosmetic requests correctly every time. Our staff only touch the calendar, not the phone.
of after-hours booking requests captured before office open
One widget covers all our appointment types. Patients pick the right visit without calling — and we fill more slots.
Can patients book directly through the widget?
Yes — Chatref can present a booking link or capture patient details and preferred times for a morning confirmation, depending on how your scheduling system is set up.
What happens if the patient asks about a specific concern?
Chatref asks clarifying questions to identify the appropriate visit type and routes the patient to the correct booking flow — medical or cosmetic — without making any clinical determination.
Will it handle cancellation and reschedule requests too?
Yes. If your scheduling system is connected, patients can reschedule directly in chat. Otherwise Chatref captures the request and flags it for your team first thing in the morning.
How quickly can we go live?
Minutes. Add your booking links and appointment types, drop the widget on your site, and Chatref starts capturing requests immediately.
Does it work for both medical and cosmetic bookings?
Yes — Chatref distinguishes visit types through conversation and routes each patient to the right booking flow without staff involvement.
Can it add patients to a waitlist?
Yes. If no immediate slot is available, Chatref captures the patient's details and concern so your team can contact them as soon as an opening appears.
Stop losing bookings to after-hours voicemail.
Add your appointment types, drop in one snippet, and let Chatref capture every patient request the moment it arrives — free to start.
