A dental answering service that answers when your front desk is with a patient. It books and reschedules appointments, answers questions about treatments and insurance, and handles pain calls out of hours.
What your dental answering service handles
Most practices lose calls at lunchtime and after five. Those are the ones that become new patients somewhere else.
