In the rapidly evolving world of veterinary medicine, efficiency isn’t just a goal — it’s a necessity. For Mount Laurel Animal Hospital (Mount Laurel), ClinicWise has proven to be the game-changer it needed to reduce appointment-related calls and streamline its booking system. The results are impressive, with over 340 bookings and 1800 Chabot interactions in its first month.
The Challenge: Overwhelmed by Constant Call Volume
Mount Laurel Animal Hospital, a high-volume practice with 400 staff members and 60 doctors, has always faced the challenge of keeping up with the constant stream of phone calls. With a busy front desk and multiple departments requiring communication, the administrative team was overwhelmed. Despite efforts to hire more customer service representatives (CSRs), the phones continued to ring.
“Our phones are constantly ringing off the hook,” says Dr. Mark Massaro, Director of Veterinary Medical Software at Mount Laurel. “No matter how many CSRs we hire, our phones are always ringing. We even started a back phone room at one point, where their whole job was to answer phones.”
This consistently high call volume created challenges for the team and made it difficult for clients to get through. Mount Laurel tried various strategies, such as adding a two-way chat feature to its website, but managing this system proved challenging and didn’t solve the problem.
The Solution: Online bookings with ClinicWise that seamlessly integrates with their practice management software
Mount Laurel Animal Hospital found its solution with ClinicWise, an AI-driven workflow platform integrated with its practice management software ezyVet. ClinicWise offers a variety of features designed to streamline operations, including a support chatbot for pet parents and 24/7 online booking capabilities.
With ClinicWise, Mount Laurel was able to manage appointment bookings more efficiently, while also providing clients with easy access to answers and support via automated chat. This shift not only reduced the volume of calls, but also helped alleviate some of the pressure on the front desk.
“We are super pleased with the ClinicWise team, the rollout, and the ezyVet integration.” shares Dr. Massaro.

- 340 + bookings in the past month via ClinicWise

“Primary Care Director, shares: “With our call volume, we have noticed a decrease, but not a decrease in our clients. We’ve seen an actual increase in our client satisfaction surveys post-visits.” — Shawn Murphy
Dr. Massaro even shares: “I have staff stop me in the hallway and say, ‘Dr. Mark, I love this!’”
