Track and recover
the highest-intent moment
PatientLoop tracks and recovers inbound calls, the highest-intent moment in the patient journey, a capability Swell’s post-visit focus does not cover. When someone picks up the phone to book, you see the call, the source that drove it, and whether it turned into a patient, and you auto-text anyone you miss.
Which campaign
drove this patient?
PatientLoop connects marketing source → call → booking → revenue, answering “which campaign drove this patient,” a question that goes beyond reviews and feedback. Instead of measuring experience after the visit, you see which ad, keyword, or channel actually produced a booked, paying patient.
Auto-text every missed caller in seconds so no lead slips away.
Turn interest into booked chair time without the phone tag.
Well-timed follow-ups convert leads that were not ready yet.
Grow your reputation with automated review requests.
The whole funnel,
plus reviews
PatientLoop owns the entire acquisition funnel plus reviews, not just post-appointment reputation. From the first click through the call, the booking, and the follow-up, and on to reviews and white-label ROI, it is one platform for agencies and DSOs managing many practices, all under your brand.
