Dr.wait
In short
In 30 seconds.
Dr.wait fits if …
you run a medical practice and want scheduling, waiting-room app, prescription line and phone from one practice software, with one practitioner where the price per head does not weigh.
terminio.ai fits if …
several practitioners work on one calendar, the assistant should book into the same calendar as the booking page, and one price should apply to the whole practice, with number and minutes in it.
The biggest difference
Per practitioner against per practice. One practitioner: €99 against €129.99. Three practitioners: €297 against €129.99, and at terminio the number and 200 minutes are already in the price.
Features
Point by point.
Eleven rows that count for a phone assistant: does it book, is the number included, how many minutes, what does it need around it. Whatever Dr.wait does not say publicly stays a question mark and never counts as a no.

HonestlyWhere Dr.wait is stronger.
Where Dr.wait is stronger.
Where terminio is.
Dr.wait
- A practice software the assistant sits in: scheduling, online reception, waiting-room app, prescription line, video consultation and recall from one system.
- Cheaper than terminio Pro Voice for a single practitioner, Basic free for good, 30-day trial without a credit card.
- Servers in Germany, no setup fee, cancel monthly.
terminio.ai
- One price for the whole practice: from two practitioners terminio is cheaper, from three clearly, and the number and 200 minutes are in the price.
- Books live into its own calendar, with a duration per service and hours per practitioner; confirmation and reminder by WhatsApp instead of SMS, from your number.
- Not only for the medical practice: physiotherapy, naturopathy, dentistry and 22 more trades, set up in ten minutes.
For whom
Typical in these practices.
Dr.wait is built for medical practices. Wherever the call is an appointment, terminio.ai has a page of its own about the phone assistant for every kind of practice.
SwitchingFrom Dr.wait to terminio
From Dr.wait to terminio
in three steps.
- 01
Set up services and hours
Tap your kind of practice, check the services and their durations, set hours per practitioner. The assistant books only what is really free in the calendar and says only what you entered.
- 02
Number and forwarding
terminio gives you a German phone number. You forward: always, only when nobody picks up, or outside hours. Your practice number stays; the Dr.wait forwarding you remove.
- 03
Greeting, voice, test call
Write the greeting, choose a voice, call yourself. Dr.wait can be cancelled monthly; until then both run in parallel, and in terminio you block what is still handed out there.
