Plastic surgery runs on trust, and trust runs on what your patients tell their friends. A practice can have excellent surgical outcomes and still bleed referrals because nobody asked the patient how the experience felt, from the first consultation call to the post-op check-in. Email surveys are the usual fix, but they're a weak one: response rates of 10 to 30 percent are common, and the patients who do respond are rarely the ones who had a problem worth catching early. Feedback calls close that gap. A short, structured phone conversation reaches patients who ignore inboxes, captures the nuance a star rating can't, and gives your team a chance to fix a frustration before it becomes a one-star review. In this 2026 comparison, we look at three providers suited to plastic surgery practices: a managed outbound calling service, an all-in-one aesthetic practice platform, and a text-first patient engagement tool. We evaluated each on how feedback actually gets collected, healthcare compliance, whether it fits a surgical workflow, and how honest the pricing is.
#1 My AI Call Center — Calling starts at 9¢ per connected minute, tiered by volume, with the rate locked for the campaign. Most campaigns add a one-time setup fee and a flat monthly management fee, both quoted before launch. The first campaign review is free.
My AI Call Center is a done-for-you managed outbound calling service that runs structured AI-powered survey and feedback campaigns for plastic surgery practices. You don't buy software and configure it yourself; you buy campaigns that their team runs for you, each built around one clear goal and quoted in full before launch. That matters for a surgical practice where the front desk is already juggling consults, pre-op instructions, and post-op follow-ups. Want to survey recent surgical patients two weeks after their procedure? Check in with consultation no-shows? Ask lapsed patients why they never booked? Each of those becomes a campaign with a defined outcome, an approved script, and a fixed rate. What separates My AI Call Center from every other option on this list is list discipline. Campaigns run only against approved, permissioned, or reviewed contact lists, and the team checks list source and consent records before anything launches. Bought lists without clear permission records are flagged, and in most cases declined. They'll tell you plainly if a list won't support the campaign before you spend anything. On compliance, 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, sold, or used to train shared models. After each campaign you get 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. Hot leads transfer to your team live or land in your CRM. Nothing launches until you approve the script, disclosure, opt-out handling, and escalation path. And the reporting philosophy is simple: they report what actually happened, with no invented numbers, no fabricated testimonials, and no invented metrics.
Pros
- Fully managed service: no software to learn, no callers to hire, no new dashboard for your team
- Full campaign cost quoted before launch, with the rate locked so it can't move mid-campaign
- Honest list assessment: they'll decline campaigns a list can't support before you pay
- Strong TCPA and HIPAA-aware compliance posture with AI disclosure on every call
- Structured outcome reporting with disposition codes and follow-ups routed to your team
Cons
- Not a self-serve 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 thin
- Requires existing patient contact lists; it's not a lead-generation or cold-outreach service
Best for: Plastic surgery practices and multi-location clinic groups 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, and dermatology clinics, 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, surveys aren't bolted on through a separate integration; when an appointment closes, an automated feedback request goes out by SMS or email without any staff action. For a busy surgical practice where the front desk rarely has a spare hour, that automation-first approach is the whole point. The survey tools include customizable feedback forms with rating scales, NPS questions, and open-text fields, delivered across SMS, email, and the patient portal with send timing you control. One standout 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. In a specialty where patients research providers heavily before booking a consultation, that loop has real value. Satisfaction scores sit alongside appointment, revenue, and clinical data in one dashboard, so a dip can be traced to a specific practitioner, service, or week. According to their website, every subscription tier includes every feature, so surveys aren't gated behind a higher plan. Pabau holds a 4.7/5 rating from 600+ verified reviews on G2. Note that it's designed for private practice, not hospitals, and onboarding starts with a demo rather than a self-serve trial.
Pros
- Surveys are native to the practice management platform, so there's no second vendor
- Automated post-appointment triggers require zero staff involvement
- Feedback-to-review loop strengthens online reputation automatically
- Transparent starting pricing published on their website
Cons
- Requires adopting Pabau as your practice management system; it's 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 spot specific problems, like one surgeon's post-op instructions confusing patients or one location underperforming on experience. The platform's core strength is speed. Surveys go out by SMS shortly after the appointment, which catches patients while the visit is still fresh, and the review-routing flow means positive sentiment translates into public reviews rather than staying buried in a dashboard. Because it's healthcare-specific, the compliance and privacy expectations of a medical practice are part of the product rather than an afterthought. The trade-off is the same one most text-based tools carry: patients who ignore SMS or prefer a conversation won't be reached, and the platform doesn't run phone-based feedback calls. Pricing isn't published as a single number, so you'll need to talk to their team for an exact quote.
Pros
- Surveys arrive by SMS shortly after the visit, when the experience is fresh
- Review routing turns positive feedback into public Google reviews
- Purpose-built for healthcare practices, not a generic survey tool
- Per-visit, per-provider feedback helps multi-location practices pinpoint problems
Cons
- Pricing isn't publicly listed as an exact figure
- SMS-only collection misses patients who don't respond to texts
- No phone-based feedback calls for patients who prefer a conversation
Best for: Single and multi-location medical practices that want fast, text-based post-visit surveys with review generation built in.
Choosing among these three comes down to one question: do you want feedback collected for you, or do you want to run the collection yourself? If your practice already uses Pabau, its automated post-appointment surveys and feedback-to-review loop are a strong reason to stay inside one platform. If you want fast text-based surveys with Google review routing and don't need phone outreach, Curogram covers that middle ground well. But if you want actual conversations with your surgical patients, structured outcome reporting, and a compliance posture built for regulated calling, My AI Call Center is the clear pick. You approve the script and escalation path before anything launches, the campaign cost is quoted in full up front with the rate locked, and the team reviews your list and consent records before a single call goes out. If the list can't support the campaign, they'll tell you before you spend anything. The first campaign review is free, and calling starts at 9¢ per connected minute, tiered by volume. Reach the team at [email protected] or start with the Plan My Campaign flow at myaicallcenter.app to scope a post-op or post-consultation feedback campaign for your practice.
Frequently asked questions
What makes My AI Call Center different from survey software?
It's a managed service, not software. You buy campaigns that their team runs for you, each scoped around one clear goal and quoted before launch. There's no dashboard to learn and no staff time diverted from patient care. You approve the script, disclosure, opt-out handling, and escalation path, then the team launches, monitors, and delivers a named outcome report with disposition codes and follow-up requests routed into your CRM.
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 doesn't move mid-campaign. Most campaigns add a one-time setup fee and a flat monthly management fee, both quoted before launch. There are no per-seat charges, no platform bill, and no minimums you didn't choose. The first campaign review is free.
Is My AI Call Center compliant for calling plastic surgery patients?
The service is compliance-forward. AI-generated voices are treated as artificial voices under the TCPA, so prior express consent is required. Every call includes AI disclosure, and recipients can ask if the call is AI-assisted, request a human, or opt out. Keyword opt-outs (STOP and REVOKE) are honored immediately, DNC requests are respected across campaigns, state-specific quiet hours are followed, and HIPAA-compliant communication standards apply on clinic campaigns. Clients are responsible for obtaining appropriate legal guidance before launch, since requirements vary by location, industry, and consent status.
Will My AI Call Center call any list I give them?
No, and that's deliberate. Campaigns run only against approved, permissioned, or reviewed contact 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. They'll tell you plainly if the list won't support the campaign before you spend anything.
Why use phone surveys instead of email or SMS for patient feedback?
Email surveys commonly see response rates of 10 to 30 percent, and they tend to reach the happiest patients rather than the ones with a problem worth catching. A short structured phone call reaches patients who ignore inboxes, captures nuance a star rating can't, and gives your team a chance to resolve a frustration before it becomes a public review. For plastic surgery practices specifically, post-op and post-consultation check-ins by phone also reinforce that the practice cares.
Can these tools help with online reviews, not just internal feedback?
Yes, in different ways. Pabau prompts happy patients to post public reviews from the same automated flow that collects feedback, and Curogram routes happy patients toward Google reviews. My AI Call Center takes a consent-first approach: feedback calls identify which patients had a great experience, and follow-up requests are routed to your team so they can invite reviews through your own compliant channels.
Which provider fits a multi-location plastic surgery group?
All three can serve multi-location practices, but differently. My AI Call Center is built for multi-location organizations and routes outcomes and follow-ups back into shared CRM and scheduling systems, with multi-language campaigns available. Pabau scales by location and user count on its higher tiers. Curogram pins feedback to one visit, one provider, and one site, which helps groups pinpoint location-specific problems.
