Palmetto Gastro & Hepatology, a gastroenterology practice in the Central Savannah River Area, serves a substantial volume of patients at their combined office and Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC). Facing challenges with inefficient workflows, high call volumes and voicemail backlogs, the practice recognized the need for enhanced patient communication. Implementing Klara led to fewer voicemails and quick communication with patients.
