Bilingual Call Answering Services for Physicians

The front desk of a primary care physician’s office has many different duties and functions. Staff is responsible for greeting people, giving them the necessary paperwork to fill out, notifying physicians or nurses that the patient has arrived, booking follow-up appointments and keeping files organized.

During busy times, when the phone rings it can be disruptive to take the calls but it can be just as time-consuming to let them go to voicemail and have to call the person back.

What Can Be Done to Reduce the Burden of Phone Calls?

  • Should more staff be hired during busy hours?
  • Should more staff be hired if a receptionist is out sick or on vacation?
  • Should more staff be hired if the practice is growing?

Not necessarily.

Instead of hiring additional staff and adding to your overhead, why not consider a virtual receptionist or call answering service for those times when:

  • Your receptionists are tied up with patients
  • There is a sudden influx of patients or calls such as at the beginning of the day
  • It’s a weekend or public holiday

AnswerHero routinely helps Doctors’ offices by providing friendly, efficient virtual receptionists who can schedule appointments, do follow-up appointment reminders, take messages and route urgent calls when your staff is tied up or unavailable.

Wouldn’t it be nice to take one of the biggest tasks off of your team’s to-do list each day and free them up to focus on their other responsibilities?

Peace of Mind

Your patients will receive personal, helpful service from your live virtual receptionist service. When they talk to an AnswerHero team member, they’ll receive the full attention of that representative, who will help them set up the best appointment time for their schedule.
