ExperClinic is a patient communication platform for allergy and immunology practices. After every visit, patients get an SMS with two options: leave a Google review or send private feedback. The same platform sends 48 hour appointment reminders that handle weekly allergy-shot schedules, runs a 365-day reactivation window, and supports multi-allergist credential attribution.

What it does

What allergy practices use ExperClinic for

Three jobs across testing, injection schedules, and long-term care.

1

Reminders for weekly allergy-shot patients

Immunotherapy patients show up weekly for years. Two reminders, 48 and 24 hours before each injection, keep the schedule on track. Default-on for allergy and immunology. Patients can confirm or reschedule from the SMS thread without calling the front desk.

2

Reviews from long-term protocol patients

A patient who has been on allergy shots for 18 months and finally has their pet dander under control is your single best reviewer. ExperClinic's 45-day per-patient cooldown means weekly-injection patients are not asked at every visit; they are asked once and not again for 45 days, which is the right cadence to actually get a response.

3

365-day annual recall

Allergy patients on stable protocols still need annual check-ins. Patients who tested once and never came back may want testing again as their environment changes. ExperClinic checks every day for patients past their 365-day window and sends a customizable SMS to bring them back.

The problem

Why allergy practices struggle with reviews and recall

Three problems specific to recurring-visit specialties.

Spam risk

Asking weekly-shot patients every week is spam.

A platform without a per-patient cooldown asks for a review at every visit. For an allergy practice with weekly immunotherapy patients, that means 50 review requests per patient per year, all going to the same person. Patients tune out and front desks complain.

Seasonal surges

Spring and fall double the volume.

Pollen seasons drive testing surges. Volume can double in March and October compared to baseline. Manual review-asking becomes impossible at peak; automation is the only way to capture the surge into review volume.

Long-term silence

Stable protocol patients become invisible.

A patient who is doing fine on allergy shots quietly fades from front-of-mind. They are also the most review-likely patient in your practice. Without automated outreach, the practice never asks them; without the ask, the review never happens.

How it helps

How does ExperClinic help allergy practices?

Five capabilities, all included on every plan.

Per-patient review cooldown

A 45-day cooldown means weekly-injection patients are asked once, not at every visit. Across a year on immunotherapy, a patient might get 3 to 5 review requests at sensible intervals, not 52 spammy ones.

48-hour and 24-hour reminders

Two reminders per appointment. Default on for allergy. Each respects practice hours and patient opt-outs. Patients can confirm or reschedule from the SMS thread, which matters for weekly schedules where small changes compound.

365-day reactivation

Annual recall for stable protocol patients and once-tested-never-returned patients. ExperClinic checks every day for patients past their 365-day window and sends a customizable SMS. Cadence is configurable per practice.

Two-way SMS for patient questions

"Can I take my Reactine before the test?" "Did the swelling from last week mean anything?" "Should I bring the EpiPen?" Replies land in a threaded conversation in your dashboard. Any staff member can pick up where another left off.

Multi-allergist support

Add associates and allergy techs. Each gets their own credentials (Dr. / MD / FRCPC for allergists; RN for techs administering injections). Reviews and feedback are attributed to the right practitioner.

FAQ

Common questions from allergy practices

My weekly-shot patients come in 50+ times a year. Will they get spammed with review requests?
No. ExperClinic has a 45-day per-patient cooldown on review requests. A weekly-injection patient gets asked once and is not eligible for another ask until 45 days later. Across a typical year on immunotherapy, that is roughly 3 to 5 review requests at sensible intervals, not 52.
How does ExperClinic handle seasonal volume surges?
Plans are tiered by SMS volume: 500/month on Starter ($129 CAD), 2000/month on Professional ($249), 6000/month on Practice ($429), and 15K-50K/month per location on Enterprise. Most allergy practices fit on Practice during peak season. SMS that go out during a surge count against the same monthly quota; if you anticipate surges, size to the peak month, not the average.
Can I send pediatric allergy testing reminders to the parent?
Yes. Each pediatric patient is a separate record with the parent's phone number on file. The SMS is addressed to the parent by first name. Reminders, review requests, and reactivation all flow to the parent. The patient (the child) is still attributed correctly in the dashboard, audit log, and feedback record.
Do my associate allergists each show up in review attribution?
Yes. Each allergist is added as a separate practitioner record with their own credentials (Dr. / MD / FRCPC). The review request SMS names the allergist the patient saw. Reviews land on your single Google Business Profile, but the SMS, the feedback record, and the audit log all attribute the visit to the correct practitioner.
What about asthma patients who come in for follow-ups but not testing?
Asthma follow-ups are appointments like any other. They get the same 48 and 24 hour reminders, qualify for review requests subject to the 45-day cooldown, and roll into the 365-day reactivation if the patient lapses. The platform does not distinguish appointment subtypes for messaging purposes.
What happens when a patient texts STOP?
STOP scopes to your practice. The patient is flagged as opted out and no further automated SMS is sent, including reminders for their ongoing immunotherapy schedule. The record stays in your list, just marked. Inbound STOP, START, and HELP are handled per TCPA convention.
Is patient data secure?
Yes. ExperClinic is PIPEDA compliant and built for Canadian healthcare requirements. We store patient names and phone numbers only, never clinical content. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Optional BAA signing is available for US providers under HIPAA.
