Why Use An Answering Service For Your Dental Practice?

If your patients call after hours with an issue, they will feel much better about scheduling an appointment talking to a real person. A study in Forbes recently said that 80% of callers do not leave messages if they are sent to voicemail. Given that most after-hours callers are current patients for your dental practice, this could prompt them to consider elsewhere. Likewise, new patients are more likely to leave their current dental practice if you’re available to answer their calls on nights and weekends.
