AI & Surgery
As a practicing robotic and foregut surgeon, Paul Toomey, MD, FACS has seen firsthand how access issues, documentation burden, and phone overload affect patients, staff, and physicians. This experience led to the creation ofMedReception.ai, a platform for voice-first AI in medical practices.
Voice-First Clinical Workflows
Rather than focusing on generic chatbots, MedReception.ai is built around voice calls and real clinical tasks: answering phones, routing calls, handling after-hours coverage, scheduling, voicemail triage, onboarding, chart preparation, and scribing.
Designed Around Independent Practices
Many of Dr. Toomey's publications and talks focus on outcomes, practice patterns, and the economics of independent practice. The same philosophy drives MedReception.ai—providing technology that strengthens, rather than replaces, front-line staff.
Safety, Ethics & Training
Current educational efforts include resident sessions on AI ethics, hands-on demonstrations of voice-based AI tools, and integration of AI use-cases into minimally invasive surgery and robotics courses.
