In aesthetics, the practice that answers first wins the consult. In reconstruction, the post-op call at midnight is a flap check. Both are phone problems.
Plastic surgery phones carry 2 different businesses. The aesthetic side is a speed contest: consult inquiries are shopping calls, and response time decides who gets the booking. The reconstructive side is clinical: post-op calls need screening for hematoma and infection signs, and flap concerns cannot wait for morning. A missed aesthetic call is lost revenue; a mishandled post-op call is a complication caught late.
Caller I was referred by my breast surgeon to talk about reconstruction.
ClinicFlow I can arrange that consult. Name and date of birth?
Caller Marisol Etxeberria, 3/8/1976.
ClinicFlow Thank you. Who is the referring surgeon?
Caller Dr. Lindqvist at the cancer center.
ClinicFlow I have her. For a reconstruction consult, Dr. Bhatt's office asks for the operative note and the pathology report ahead of the visit, so the consult is a decision conversation rather than a records hunt.
Caller I don't have those, the cancer center does.
ClinicFlow You don't need to chase them. I'm sending a records request to Dr. Lindqvist's office today with your name and date of birth on it.
Caller That helps. I've been doing all this coordinating myself.
ClinicFlow For dates, Dr. Bhatt has the 9th at 1:00, or the 16th at 11:30. Reconstruction consults are booked as extended visits, so they run longer than a standard appointment.
Caller The 16th. Can my sister come? She's been to everything with me.
ClinicFlow Yes, and I'll note a second person attending so the room is set for it.
Caller Will I know about insurance before then?
ClinicFlow Reconstruction coverage is handled by the practice's benefits team rather than quoted on a call, so I'm sending them your plan details to review before the 16th. You're booked the 16th at 11:30 with Dr. Bhatt, records requested from Dr. Lindqvist's office, a guest noted, and benefits review started.
