    How Dr. Keith Heller Cut No-Shows by 12% With AI Follow-Up

    Dr. Keith Heller's Brooklyn practice wanted to reduce no-shows and re-engage unscheduled patients without piling on more admin. Dentra's AI Scribe, AI No-Show and Follow-Up Agent, and Opportunity Miner automated documentation and outreach so the team could focus on patients in the chair.

    Starting point

    • General practice in Brooklyn, NY (Metropolitan Dental Arts).
    • High no-show rate and low reactivation of unscheduled patients.
    • Manual reminders and charting consumed staff time; CRM underused.

    Highlights

    Dentra reactivated 390 patients and cut no-shows by 12% for a Brooklyn practice by automating SOAP notes, no-show reminders, and reactivation outreach with no workflow changes.

    The Challenge

    The Challenge

    Patients were missing appointments despite reminder attempts; outreach wasn’t persistent or personalized.
    Manual charting slowed providers and led to uneven documentation quality.
    Unscheduled patients from past consults weren’t being reactivated.

    "We needed a way to keep patients engaged and out of the no-show bucket without adding more staff time."

    The Solution

    AI Scribe + Follow-Up + Opportunity Miner

    Dentra automated reminders and reactivation while producing clean SOAP notes, so the team could stay focused on visits.

    1. AI Scribe → SOAP-ready notes

    Structured notes captured during visits and calls, so providers end the day with charts closed.

    2. AI Follow-Up → No-show reduction

    Personalized, multi-channel reminders and confirmations (no-show agent) reduced no-shows, and if a patient missed, the agent re-engaged them to get back on the schedule.

    3. Opportunity Miner → Reactivate unscheduled patients

    Historical patients scored for intent and reactivated, turning past leads into booked appointments.

    4. Concierge onboarding → Minimal lift

    Dentra set up in 24 hours and ran three 1-hour weekly sessions while monitoring and tuning campaigns.

    The Results

    390 Reactivated, 12% Fewer No-Shows, Better Charts

    390 patients reactivated via AI-led nurture.
    12% reduction in no-shows from persistent, personalized reminders.
    Clean SOAP notes captured automatically; staff time shifted back to patient care.
