🏆 A Story of Growth and Innovation

David Ayres began his journey in physiotherapy with a passion for helping others and a love for sport. After earning his Bachelor’s in Physiotherapy from the University of South Australia in 2000, he quickly got to work in private practice and with prominent Adelaide football clubs.

In 2004, David opened his first Core Physio clinic, and by 2008, his reputation for quality care allowed him to expand to a second location.

As his practice flourished, so did the challenges. Relying on outdated systems for scheduling and billing became impractical. By 2019, David sought a solution that would grow with his business, leading him to adopt Nookal, a cloud-based practice management software designed for Allied Health professionals.

🔗 Why HotDoc and Nookal are the Perfect Pair

David’s journey took another leap forward in 2022 when he integrated HotDoc, Australia’s leading online patient engagement platform, with Nookal. This decision revolutionised how his clinics managed patient bookings and communication.

Key Benefits of the Integration:

  • Seamless Online Bookings: Patients easily schedule appointments through HotDoc, creating a consistent and user-friendly experience.
  • Reduced Admin Workloads: Automated booking processes and reminders free up time for David’s team to focus on patient care.
  • Improved Patient Retention: HotDoc’s tools, such as digital forms and telehealth capabilities, help maintain continuity of care.
  • Error-Free Scheduling: HotDoc reduces duplicate records, ensuring accuracy in patient data.

“HotDoc has reduced our admin requirements significantly while helping us grow our patient base. Its focus on continuity of care sets it apart from other platforms.”
