Premium Patient Services Implemented by our Dental Answering Service

If you have a dental answering service already in place for your after-hour calls you are ahead of the game. The question now is, does your current 24 hour answering service give your patients the highest quality of service possible? We always recommend that you mystery call your offices to see exactly what kind of customer service your patients are receiving.

When making these calls, answer the following questions to determine if you have hired an elite dental answering service:

• • Does the dental virtual receptionist answer within the first two rings?
• • Are you greeted in a friendly, professional and helpful manner?
• • Does the telephone agent ask for your name and confirm your telephone number?
• • Are you placed on hold for long periods of time?
• • Is your frequently asked question answered with confidence?
• • Were you patched through to an on-call medical professional swiftly and accurately?
• • Was your overall experience and impression positive?
• • As the business owner, did you receive a phone message immediately after hanging up on the conversation?

Here at A Courteous Communications, we pride ourselves on our award winning medical answering services. When you hire our answering service, you are hiring a professional, accurate and friendly team that will leave positive lasting impressions with your callers.

Make Your Revenue Smile With Help From Our Elite Dental Answering Service 

Did you know, “Adding personnel increases cost and impacts the net revenue of a dental practice. In 1950, practicing dentists employed an average of one additional staff member and had a net revenue of 58.4%. By 2010, the average number of employees in dental practices had risen to five, and net revenue had fallen to 27.4%.”

It’s no surprise that the more support your dental office employs the more your overhead and costs will rise. This frightening reality brings dentists to our services because they realize they need more support, but cannot afford an in-house receptionist.
