Steer Health’s no-fuss web scheduling widget empowers your patients to make appointments anytime, anywhere.​ 

Meet Patients Where They Are: We place ‘Request Appointment’ buttons on multiple sections of your website, the Google Business profile pages, the AI Conversational Chatbot, and via the Virtual Voice Assistant.

We Got You Covered: Once a patient requests an appointment, they can choose from a list of your practices based on their proximity to the locations or any other preferences.

Eliminate Repetitive Tasks: Steer is integrated with your EMR solution and uses it to pull in information about existing patients, removing the need for you to look them up manually each time.

Onboarding is a Breeze: When a new or existing patient books an appointment, they are prompted to update their insurance information, saving your staff’s time during the onboarding process.

Patient Communication Hub: All appointments and inquiries are accessible in one place – the Virtual Voice Assistant, the AI Conversional Chatbot on your website, or patient’s appointment scheduling requests from any online links. Your staff can check the requirement and easily respond to the requests.
