Phone Consultations

Our phone communication system is oriented towards clients that don’t have access to video / camera functionality.

Features:

● Automated phone communication system between Veterinarian and client
● Attach Images, Videos, and Documents – Both the expert and user can attach
files during the consultation
● Recorded – Phone calls can be recorded
● Consultation History -If you’ve done previous consultations with the expert, the
consultation summary per meeting is included at the bottom of the consultation view.

How it Works:

Once your consultation has been booked, and is ready to start, simply click ‘View’ which is located in your ‘Dashboard’ under the ‘Upcoming Appointment’ section. You will now be in the Phone Consultation view.

Let’s start by walking through the features within the top control bar of the video consultation:

● Charge – If you’re charging for the consultation, this button will be enabled. After you’re finished your consultation, simply press the ‘Charge’ button and it will bill the client and transact the money into your account.
● Open – This button enables your customer to continue communicating with you via the message box within the video consultation view after the consultation has been completed. If you want to disable this ability after the consultation has been completed, press the ‘Open’ button and it will change the button to ‘Locked’. You can ‘unlock’ the consultation at any time by pressing the button again.
● Claimed – This button showcases that the consultation has been ‘claimed’ by an
expert. If the consultation was not claimed, the button would read ‘Available’. If a consultation is available, you can click the ‘Available’ button to claim it.
● Cancel – If you are unable to perform the consultation, you can cancel the consultation by clicking the ‘cancel’ button. Once clicked, it will send a cancellation email to your client and encourage them to re-book another consultation.
