Patient feedback is the engine behind referrals, repeat procedures, and your online reputation, yet most plastic surgery practices still struggle to collect it systematically. Email surveys typically pull response rates of just 10 to 30 percent, and front-desk staff rarely have time to chase responses between consults and post-op follow-ups. In a field where patients research providers heavily before booking, and where 70 percent of patients won't consider a provider rated below four stars, the practices that listen fastest win. Surveys and feedback calls solve this. The right provider captures patient sentiment at the right moment, whether that's a post-op check-in call, an SMS survey after a consultation, or a structured campaign to patients who haven't returned. In this 2026 guide, we compare three solutions suited to plastic surgery practices: a managed outbound calling service, an all-in-one practice management platform, and a healthcare-focused texting platform. We evaluated each on feedback collection methods, healthcare compliance, workflow integration, 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 flat monthly management fee, both quoted before launch. 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, without requiring you to build, staff, or manage a call center in-house. Unlike software platforms you configure yourself, you buy campaigns that the team runs for you, each built around one clear goal and quoted in full before launch. For practices wanting to survey recent surgical patients, check in after consultations, or gather feedback from patients who haven't returned, this hands-off model means no new dashboard to learn and no staff time diverted 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. 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. Hot leads transfer to your team live or land in your CRM. Pricing starts at 9 cents per connected minute, tiered by volume, with the rate locked for the duration of the campaign. 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, and no invented metrics in reporting.
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
- Structured outcome reporting with disposition codes and follow-up routing
- Honest list assessment; will decline campaigns the list can't support before you pay
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 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 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 the practice's online reputation. 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.
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
Cons
- Requires adopting Pabau as your practice management system, not a standalone survey tool
- 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 particular locations underperforming on patient experience. The platform's core strength is speed and immediacy. Surveys are delivered by SMS shortly after the appointment, which tends to catch patients while the experience is still fresh. Because responses are tied to a specific visit and provider, practices can close the loop quickly when something goes wrong, reaching out to an unhappy patient before the frustration turns into a negative public review. For practices that already communicate with patients by text for reminders and confirmations, adding surveys to the same channel keeps the workflow simple for both staff and patients.
Pros
- SMS delivery captures feedback quickly while the visit is still fresh
- Visit-level and provider-level attribution helps pinpoint specific problems
- Review routing turns positive feedback into public Google reviews
- More accessible than enterprise CX platforms while staying healthcare-focused
Cons
- Pricing not publicly listed; requires a sales conversation
- Text-based only, no phone survey capability
- Less suited to practices that need deep structured survey logic or phone outreach
Best for: Healthcare practices and multi-location clinics that want fast, text-based post-visit feedback with review routing, without adopting a full practice management platform.
Choosing the right surveys and feedback provider comes down to how your practice already operates. If you have patient lists with consent records and want phone-based feedback collected without hiring staff, My AI Call Center's managed campaigns give you a fully compliant, done-for-you option with the full cost known before launch. If your practice runs on Pabau already, its native automated surveys and feedback-to-review loop are hard to beat. If fast text-based feedback with Google review routing fits your workflow better, Curogram is a solid healthcare-focused choice. Whichever direction you take, the worst option is doing nothing: you can't fix what you don't know, and in plastic surgery, unhappy patients rarely complain before they leave. If you'd like to explore a managed feedback call campaign for your practice, My AI Call Center offers a free first campaign review. You'll get a plain answer on whether your list can support the campaign, a full quote before anything launches, and outcome reporting with no invented numbers.

Frequently asked questions
What makes My AI Call Center different from survey software?
My AI Call Center is a managed service, not software. You buy campaigns that the team runs for you, each built around one clear goal and quoted in full before launch. There's no dashboard to learn, no per-seat charges, and no platform bill. Campaigns run only against approved, permissioned, or reviewed lists, and the team checks consent records before anything launches. You get a named outcome report with disposition codes, per-call notes, and follow-up requests routed back into your CRM.
How much does My AI Call Center cost?
Calling starts at 9 cents 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. There are no per-seat charges and no minimums you didn't choose. The first campaign review is free, so you'll know the full number before approving anything.
Is it compliant to use AI calls for patient surveys?
My AI Call Center treats AI-generated voices as artificial voices under the TCPA, which means prior express consent is required. Every call includes AI disclosure, recipients can ask for a human or opt out, keyword opt-outs (STOP and REVOKE) are honored immediately, and state-specific quiet hours are respected. The service follows HIPAA-compliant communication standards for clinic clients, and patient data is never shared or sold. Campaign requirements vary by location and contact type, so practices should get appropriate legal guidance before launch.
Which patients should a plastic surgery practice survey?
Beyond your current patient list, industry advice points to surveying patients from years ago, patients who haven't been in for the past year, consultation visitors who didn't book, and surgical patients who haven't returned. Feedback from these groups often reveals why patients drift away. Keep surveys short (around 10 questions), and remember that average survey response rates run around 10 percent, so volume matters. Phone-based campaigns can help lift coverage where email surveys fall flat.
Phone surveys vs. SMS surveys: which is better for a plastic surgery practice?
It depends on your patient relationships and consent records. SMS surveys (like Pabau's or Curogram's) are fast and cheap and work well for simple post-visit pulses. Phone-based surveys work better when you want richer feedback, structured follow-up questions, and coverage of patients who ignore texts and email. Phone campaigns also let you handle opt-outs, escalation to a human, and multi-language outreach (Spanish is the most common) in a single structured call. Many practices use both.
What happens after a feedback campaign ends?
With My AI Call Center, you receive a dispositioned contact list, outcome counts with disposition codes (confirmed, qualified, renewed, opted out, no answer), per-call notes, routed follow-ups, a completion and coverage report, and opt-out and DNC logs. Hot leads transfer to your team live or land in your CRM. The rule of thumb for acting on results: if three or more patients comment on the same staff member or process, address it immediately rather than treating it as a one-off.
Can My AI Call Center work with a bought patient list?
Probably not, and that's deliberate. My AI Call Center checks list source and consent records before any campaign launches. Bought lists without clear permission records are flagged and, in most cases, declined. The team will tell you plainly if the list won't support the campaign before you spend anything. This protects your practice from TCPA risk and keeps your patient relationships intact.
