Telegram bot for a clinic doctor appointments without a phone queue

Reception at a multi-specialty clinic spends most of the day on the same conversations: which doctor works on Saturday, is there a slot with the gynecologist, do I need to fast. The bot handles these without a phone queue. It shows only real slots from the doctors' schedules, accounts for appointment length and room, and locks the time as soon as it is confirmed. The receptionist sees the booking where they already work, not in a forwarded message.

The bot has a hard boundary: it does not diagnose, assess symptoms or pick a doctor from a description of pain. When a patient starts describing complaints, the bot replies briefly and passes the conversation, with its history, to an administrator or the doctor on duty. For sensitive areas — urology, gynecology, psychotherapy, infection tests — I build a separate branch: minimal questions, neutral wording in reminders, a quick route to a person.

After the visit the bot keeps taking load off reception. When the lab marks a test as ready, the patient is told how to collect the result — at the clinic, through a secure link or at the follow-up visit. The values themselves are not sent to the chat. Follow-ups, treatment courses and routine checkups are reminded on the date the doctor set, not on a generic template.
