Enhancing Customer Service 

Gemini can significantly enhance customer service in veterinary practices. With its advanced natural language processing capabilities, Gemini can:

• Provide Reminders: Send personalised reminders for appointments, vaccinations, and follow-up visits, ensuring pets receive timely care.

However, if you are using EzyVet in your practice - I would recommend that you look at using the Virtual Vet Nurse, as that automates all of this and has a Veterinary knowledge base, with common questions driving it - I would suggest you investigate this first (use 'VMS' as the discount code when you register for a demo, as if you go ahead it will give you 50% off for the first two months)
