If you run a plastic surgery practice, you already know that patient feedback drives everything: referrals, repeat procedures, and the online reviews prospective patients read before they ever book a consultation. Research from RepuGen's 2025 survey of 1,212 patients found that 70% won't consider a provider rated below 4 stars, and 40% treat reviews older than one to two years as outdated. Yet most practices still struggle to collect feedback systematically. Email surveys typically pull response rates of just 10-30%, and your front desk rarely has a free hour to call back the patient who waited 50 minutes on Tuesday. The gap between collecting feedback and acting on it is where most programs die. In this 2026 guide, we compare three providers that help plastic surgery practices gather patient sentiment at the right moment, whether by phone, SMS, or automated post-visit triggers, and route the results to someone who can actually act on them. We evaluated each on feedback collection methods, healthcare compliance, workflow fit, and pricing transparency.
#1 My AI Call Center — Calling starts at 9¢ per connected minute, tiered by volume. Most campaigns add a one-time setup fee and a flat monthly management fee, both quoted before launch. No per-seat charges, no platform bill, no minimums you didn't choose.
My AI Call Center (myaicallcenter.app) is a done-for-you managed outbound calling service that runs structured AI-powered survey and feedback campaigns on behalf of plastic surgery practices, without requiring you to build, staff, or manage a call center in-house. Owned and operated by AIQ Labs, with a base in Halifax, Nova Scotia and US operations in Austin, Texas, the service works differently from the software platforms you configure yourself: you buy campaigns that their team runs for you, each built around one clear goal and quoted in full before launch. Whether you want to survey recent surgical patients, check in after consultations, or gather feedback from patients who haven't returned in a year, the hands-off model means no new dashboard to learn and no staff time pulled away from patient care. What sets My AI Call Center apart is strict list discipline and a compliance-first approach. Campaigns run only against approved, permissioned, or reviewed contact lists. The team checks list sources and consent records before any campaign launches, and will tell you plainly if a list won't support the campaign before you spend anything. Bought lists without clear permission records are flagged and, in most cases, declined. AI-generated voices are treated as artificial voices under the TCPA, with prior express consent required, AI disclosure on every call, keyword opt-outs (STOP and REVOKE) honored immediately, and state-specific quiet hours respected. The service follows HIPAA-compliant communication standards for clinic clients, and patient data is never shared or sold. After each campaign, you receive a named outcome report with disposition codes (confirmed, qualified, renewed, opted out, no answer), per-call notes, and follow-up requests routed back into the CRM and scheduling tools you already run. Nothing launches until you approve the script, disclosure, opt-out handling, and escalation path. Reporting is honest: they report what actually happened and never invent metrics. Multi-language campaigns are available, with Spanish the most common.
Pros
- Fully managed service, no software to learn or staff to hire
- Full campaign cost quoted before launch with the rate locked, no surprise charges
- Strong TCPA and HIPAA-aware compliance posture with AI disclosure on every call
- Honest list assessment: they'll decline campaigns the list can't support before you pay
- Structured outcome reporting with disposition codes and follow-up routing
Cons
- Not a self-serve software tool; campaigns require a review and approval process before launch
- Phone-based surveys may reach fewer patients than SMS or email if your consent records are limited
- Requires existing patient contact lists; not a lead-generation or cold-outreach service
Best for: Plastic surgery practices and multi-location clinics that want patient feedback collected by phone without hiring staff or managing survey software, especially practices with existing patient lists and consent records.
#2 Pabau — From $62/month (Starter, billed monthly); Team/Group and Enterprise tiers scale by location and user count. Contact sales for a quote.
Pabau is an all-in-one practice management platform built for aesthetic practices, med spas, dermatology clinics, and multi-specialty groups, which makes it a natural fit for plastic surgery practices that want patient satisfaction surveys built directly into their clinical workflow. According to their website, rather than bolting surveys on through a separate integration, Pabau keeps feedback collection native to the platform: when an appointment closes, an automated feedback request goes out by SMS or email without any staff action needed. That automation-first approach matters for busy aesthetic practices where front-desk teams don't have time to manually send survey requests. Pabau's survey tools include customizable feedback forms with rating scales, NPS questions, and open-text fields built in the platform's digital forms editor, delivered across SMS, email, and the patient portal with send timing you control. A standout feature is the feedback-to-review loop: happy patients are prompted to post public reviews from the same flow, which feeds directly into your online reputation, valuable in an industry where patients heavily research providers before booking consultations. Satisfaction scores sit alongside appointment, revenue, and clinical data in one unified dashboard, so a dip in scores can be traced to a specific practitioner, service, or week. According to their website, every subscription tier includes every feature, so surveys are never gated behind a higher plan. Pabau holds a 4.7/5 rating from 600+ verified reviews on G2, with reviewers citing automated workflows and the single-platform approach as key reasons for choosing it.
Pros
- Surveys fully native to the practice management platform, no second vendor
- Automated post-appointment triggers require zero staff involvement
- Feedback-to-review loop strengthens online reputation automatically
- 4.7/5 rating from 600+ G2 reviews with transparent starting pricing published on their website
Cons
- Requires adopting Pabau as your practice management system, not a standalone survey tool
- Not designed for hospital-grade CX programs or HCAHPS-certified benchmarking
- Onboarding requires a demo rather than a self-serve trial
- Survey collection is SMS and email based, not phone based
Best for: Independent and group aesthetic practices, med spas, and dermatology clinics that want feedback collection built into their existing practice management system.
#3 Curogram — From a few hundred dollars per month for a single clinic; contact for exact pricing.
Curogram is a practice-level patient engagement platform that sends satisfaction surveys by text right after a visit and routes happy patients toward Google reviews. According to their website, it occupies the middle ground in the patient survey market: more accessible than enterprise platforms like Qualtrics or Medallia, but purpose-built for healthcare rather than being a general-purpose survey tool. For plastic surgery practices running multiple locations, Curogram's model of pinning feedback to one visit, one provider, and one site makes it possible to identify specific problems, such as one surgeon's post-op instructions confusing patients or a particular location underperforming on patient experience. The platform's core strength is speed and immediacy. Surveys go out by SMS shortly after the appointment, which matters because delivery channel drives response rate more than question wording does: a text sent 90 minutes after a visit gets opened, while a paper survey mailed weeks later gets ignored. Curogram states it is HIPAA compliant and SOC 2 Type II certified, and will sign a Business Associate Agreement, which is a hard gate for any practice handling patient feedback tied to a visit. The company also publishes data on review generation outcomes: one multi-location practice using automated post-appointment surveys tied to Google Reviews collected 1,064 new 5-star reviews in three months, with 90% of responding patients leaving five stars. For practices that want a lightweight, healthcare-focused feedback tool without replacing their practice management system, Curogram is worth a demo call.
Pros
- Purpose-built for healthcare, with HIPAA compliance and SOC 2 Type II certification
- Fast SMS delivery captures feedback while the visit is fresh
- Review routing turns positive feedback into public Google reviews
- Published outcomes on review generation from real multi-location practices
Cons
- Exact pricing not published; you need to request a quote
- SMS-first approach may miss patients who prefer phone or email
- Focused on survey delivery and reviews, not a full engagement or calling platform
Best for: Plastic surgery practices and multi-location clinics that want fast, SMS-based post-visit feedback tied to review generation, without adopting a full practice management platform.
Choosing the right surveys and feedback provider comes down to one question: what happens in the 48 hours after a patient gives you their opinion? If feedback sits in a dashboard nobody reads, nothing changes. My AI Call Center earns the Editor's Choice spot because it closes that loop with managed phone campaigns that actually reach patients, structured outcome reports with disposition codes, and follow-up requests routed straight into your CRM. Its list discipline and compliance posture (AI disclosure on every call, consent records checked before launch, HIPAA-aware standards for clinics) matter in a specialty where patient trust is everything. Pabau is the strongest pick if you want surveys native to your practice management system, and Curogram fits practices that want fast SMS feedback tied to Google reviews. If phone-based feedback collection sounds right for your practice, start with a free campaign review at myaicallcenter.app. You'll share your goal, list volume, and consent records, and the team will tell you plainly whether the campaign will work before you spend anything. Calling starts at 9¢ per connected minute, quoted in full before launch.
Frequently asked questions
Why should a plastic surgery practice use phone surveys instead of email or SMS?
Phone surveys reach patients who ignore email forms, and the average response to email surveys runs just 10-30%. A phone call also lets you ask follow-up questions and capture nuance that a star rating can't, which matters when you're trying to find out why a consultation didn't convert or how a patient felt about their post-op care. IVR Tech Group reports that voice surveys can generate up to 3X more responses than emailed online surveys. The tradeoff is cost and staff time, which is why practices increasingly outsource phone surveys to managed services like My AI Call Center rather than pulling front-desk staff away from patients.
Is My AI Call Center compliant with TCPA and HIPAA rules?
My AI Call Center treats AI-generated voices as artificial voices under the TCPA, which means prior express consent is required before calls go out. Every call includes AI disclosure, recipients can ask if the call is AI-assisted, request a human, or opt out with keywords like STOP and REVOKE, and those opt-outs are honored immediately and carried into your DNC records. State-specific quiet hours and calling restrictions are respected. For clinic clients, the service follows HIPAA-compliant communication standards, and patient data is never shared or sold. The company notes that campaign requirements vary by location, industry, and consent status, and clients are responsible for obtaining appropriate legal guidance before launch.
How much does My AI Call Center cost?
Calling starts at 9¢ per connected minute, tiered by volume, and the rate is agreed before launch and locked for the campaign. Most campaigns add a one-time setup fee and a flat monthly management fee, both quoted in full before anything launches. There are no per-seat charges, no platform bill, and no minimums you didn't choose. The first campaign review is free, so you can find out what a campaign will cost, and whether your list will support it, before committing any budget.
What kind of patient lists can My AI Call Center call?
Only approved, permissioned, or reviewed lists. The team checks list source and consent records before any campaign launches. Bought lists without clear permission records are flagged and, in most cases, declined. The company will tell you plainly if the list won't support the campaign before you spend anything. This makes the service a fit for practices with existing patient relationships, current patient lists, lapsed patients, and consultation no-shows, but not for cold prospecting.
What should a plastic surgery survey actually ask?
Keep it short. Practice consultants recommend 10 questions maximum, with a comment box after each so patients can explain why they answered the way they did. Useful questions for a plastic surgery practice include: were the phones answered professionally, was it easy to get an appointment, did we see you on time, were you satisfied with your results, and would you refer friends and family. For surgical consultations that didn't convert, ask why the patient chose not to proceed. Survey a mix of current patients, patients from years ago, and patients who came in for a consultation but didn't book, since trends across three or more similar comments usually point to something worth fixing.
Do I need to switch practice management software to use a survey provider?
No, but it depends on the provider. Pabau requires adopting its full practice management platform, which works well if you were considering a switch anyway. Curogram sits alongside your existing systems and sends surveys by text. My AI Call Center is software-agnostic: outcomes, bookings, and follow-up requests route back into the CRM and scheduling tools you already run, so there's nothing to replace and nothing new to learn.
