Then you clearly don't matter to Mango.

Blind people use special assistive software on their phones so they can hear text

Radio. Text to speech. Having someone who cares about you.

You want your doctor to broadcast your appointment reminders over the radio?

My doctor can afford to call or text or have a secretary do so.

In 2024, have a human call for reminders for every client every single day for every appointment… yeah right. Enjoy that while it lasts.

If you don't have the time to call all of your patients, you don't have the time to provide medical care to them.

You'll actually have a lot of time to provide medical care to your patients when you don’t have to waste all that time calling them for no reason when that can be easily automated.

Doctors don’t have secretaries, they have medical assistants, and medical billing and coding. Both of which have better things to do than make appointment reminder calls all day when it can be easily automated.
