Never Miss a Patient Call in Galway Again

Galway — the "City of the Tribes" — has grown from a charming western outpost to Ireland's fourth-largest city with a population of nearly 86,000. Known for its arts festivals, university culture, and booming tourism, Galway hosts around 30 dental practices serving everyone from University of Galway's 18,000 students to families in Knocknacarra and Salthill. With the city's unique mix of permanent residents and seasonal visitors, missed calls mean missed patients — and VoiceFleet ensures that doesn't happen.

How VoiceFleet Works for Galway Dentists

  1. We assign you a local 091 Galway number (or port your existing one)
  2. Our AI learns your practice — treatments, pricing, availability, and your clinic's personality
  3. Calls are answered instantly — bookings flow directly into your diary
  4. You get a daily summary — every call logged, every appointment confirmed

Why Galway Dental Practices Choose VoiceFleet

The Galway Challenge

  • Galway's tourism-driven economy brings massive seasonal call spikes — the Galway International Arts Festival alone attracts 250,000+ visitors each July, and dental emergencies don't pause for festivals
  • The University of Galway campus generates a young patient base that calls outside hours and expects instant responses — they won't leave voicemails
  • Galway's chronic traffic congestion along the Dublin Road corridor means patients call from their cars during long commutes — unanswered calls are lost patients
  • The city's compact layout means there's always another practice within walking distance for a frustrated caller
  • Galway's bilingual community (with Irish-speaking patients from the nearby Gaeltacht) needs a receptionist that can handle both languages gracefully

The VoiceFleet Difference

  • 24/7 availability — handles tourist emergencies during Race Week and late-night student calls alike
  • Multiple concurrent calls — critical during festival season surges
  • GDPR-compliant, EU data centres (Ireland & Frankfurt)
  • Understands Galway's distinctive western accent and Irish language greetings
  • Integrates with Dentally, SOE, and systems popular with Connacht practices

What Your Patients Experience

"I was at the Galway Races when I chipped a tooth on Saturday afternoon. Called my dentist in Salthill — the AI answered immediately, asked the right questions, and had me booked for Monday morning. Even warned me not to eat on that side. Spot on." — Patient, Galway

Pricing for Galway Practices

Starting from €199/month. In a city where new patient acquisition is fiercely competitive, recovering just one missed call per month covers the entire cost.
