You’re in good company.

As a small office, I can’t grab every call. But now I can. The patient always has someone to talk to 24/7. This is a great value for my patients. I think having a service like this is important for all businesses.

So far it has far exceeded my expectations and I would recommend it to small offices looking for a receptionist service or overflow/after hours phone service. The people who answer the call do an amazing job - they balance keeping the call short and to the point while making the caller feel heard.
