Remote veterinary front desk for clinics on AVImark, Cornerstone or ezyVet
Inside your AVImark or Cornerstone, one receptionist on your phones.
Neon Link gives veterinary clinics that run AVImark, Cornerstone, ezyVet or IDEXX Neo one dedicated, full-time remote receptionist who books straight into your schedule under the right appointment type and doctor, works your reminder and recall lists, attaches incoming records to the right patient and routes refill requests to your veterinarian through the system's own workflow. They work remotely from the Philippines on your US business hours, and every medical question goes to your licensed team. It costs $2,295 a month, month to month, with no setup fee.

What your Linker handles
- Book, confirm and reschedule in your practice management system under the right appointment type, doctor and room, and fill cancellations from the waitlist
- Work your reminder and recall lists for vaccines, wellness exams and dental cleanings, and book the visits that come back
- Mark deceased patients in the system so their owners never get a reminder
- Create new client and patient records, and request and attach prior records to the right patient
- Route refill requests through the system's prescription workflow to the veterinarian, and send the answer once they decide
- Send estimates your team built in the system, and record deposits and payment promises by your script
- Answer calls, texts and online booking requests in your clinic's name, and take messages your team can act on
- Send the practice manager a short end of shift note on callbacks owed, refills waiting and records outstanding
We screen for AVImark, Cornerstone, ezyVet, IDEXX Neo, Covetrus Pulse and Vetspire. Experience with a veterinary system puts a candidate at the front of the line, but a US medical or dental scheduling system also counts, so not every receptionist has used yours. If a finalist has not used yours, you'll know before they start.

How we vet your Linker
Our recruiting team in the Philippines runs a strict screening and review of every applicant, using a process built by our founder, Dan Betthauser, from twenty years running outsourced operations across the Philippines, Costa Rica and the United States. Every Linker goes through:
- A screen of the application against your role: the work, the software and the experience you need
- A recorded spoken English sample, reviewed by our team
- A practical skills test for your work, scored in our own system
- A live video interview with our recruiting team
- An ID check and a background check: NBI clearance in the Philippines, police clearance in India and Pakistan
- A workspace check before day one: a quiet, private room, wired internet, a backup connection and a plan for power outages
- A signed confidentiality agreement before they see any of your data
- Your own interview with the finalist: nobody starts until you say yes
How it starts
- Step 1Tell us the work: a 15 or 30 minute call with our team, or the sixty second scope on the homepage.
- Step 2Get a written quote at the published rate, held for 30 days.
- Step 3We recruit and screen for your work and your software, and you interview the finalist before they start.
- Step 4Your Linker works your queue on your hours. A Neon Link manager runs the account and answers when you need them.
- Step 5If the fit is wrong in the first 60 days, we swap them at no cost.
A good fit, and not a fit
- Clinics on AVImark, Cornerstone, ezyVet or IDEXX Neo whose front desk is buried in phones and reminders
- Multi-location groups that book across several hospitals in one system
- Editing clinical notes, medical records or treatment plans. Your Linker works in scheduling, client records and messages only
- Medical advice, triage decisions or refill approvals
- Overnight and weekend coverage. Your Linker is one person on your hours, not a 24/7 line

Questions owners ask
How much does it cost to outsource veterinary reception?
$2,295 a month for one dedicated, full-time person (40 hours a week), month to month, or $2,195 a month on the 6-month plan. There is no setup fee, and pay, equipment and management are inside that one number. For comparison, a US receptionist costs about $4,440 a month fully loaded, using the BLS median wage plus employer costs.
Do your receptionists know AVImark or Cornerstone?
We screen for both, and for ezyVet, IDEXX Neo, Covetrus Pulse and Vetspire. Experience with a veterinary system puts a candidate at the front of the line, but it is not a requirement, so not every receptionist has used yours. If a finalist has not used your system, you'll know before they start.
What access do they need?
A user account in your practice management system with the scheduling, client and messaging permissions you choose, and a login for your phone and texting tools. They work inside your systems and never copy client lists or records to personal devices.
How is this different from hiring a virtual assistant?
You get one dedicated person who handles your work on your hours, inside your software, and a Neon Link manager runs the account: pay, equipment, replacement if it comes to that, and a phone that gets answered. You never run offshore payroll or manage a freelancer alone. It is not a ticket queue or a 24/7 answering line.
How fast can someone start?
We start recruiting when you say go. You interview the finalist before anyone starts, and the start date is set with you once you pick the person. We would rather take the time to find the right fit than hand you whoever is free.
What if the person is not the right fit?
If the fit is wrong in the first 60 days, we swap them at no cost. After that, if they leave, we recruit the replacement at no charge and manage the handover. Training on your process runs at the normal monthly rate.
Do we have to sign a long contract?
No. Month to month is available on every plan. The 6-month plan trades a longer commitment for a lower monthly rate. A written quote at the published rate is held for 30 days.
