Our story

The first call is the one that matters most.

For someone seeking therapy, the first call is often the hardest step, and it rarely comes at a convenient time.

We founded Kairon Corp because we understand what that first conversation is worth. The ideal is to answer immediately, but your attention belongs with the client in front of you.

When a call goes unanswered, the next practice is only a tap away, and a prospective client may never call back.

A session in a bright room. In front, a phone on a side table lights up with a call that nobody can take.

Why Kairon

Keep every prospective client connected to your practice.

Kairon answers in your practice’s name whenever you can’t. Callers know they’ve reached the right place and when to expect your call.

Because your callback is expected, it gets answered. The clinical conversation stays with you.

Our name comes from kairos, the Greek word for “the right moment.” That moment is what we protect.

Between sessions, a therapist stands by a window in a bright hallway and smiles as she returns a call.

What the research shows

No clear response
61% of 5,822 calls to psychologists and psychiatrists in five states received no clear response, most often reaching only voicemail or an automated system.

Calls not returned
1 in 4 psychiatry offices never returned a new patient’s call, in a study of 360 offices in Boston, Chicago and Houston.
Psychiatric Services, 2014 (opens in a new tab)

Each of these calls was someone ready to begin care. Kairon ensures they hear from your practice right away.

How it works

Three simple steps

  1. A call comes in while you’re with a client.

  2. Kairon answers in your practice’s name, checks your availability and confirms when you’ll return the call.

    For example: “Dr. Marsh is available between 2 and 3 p.m. today, so you can expect her call then.”

  3. You receive a text summary with the caller’s name, number and callback time, and the caller is expecting your call.
