Your answering service protocols are customized to your business
Our highly-trained receptionists will work with you to customize which calls should be handled by you, and which calls shouldn’t. You can arrange for receptionists to transfer urgent calls directly to your land or cell phone line.
You can also customize exactly how and when you would like your messages delivered to you, whether that’s by voicemail, text message, email, or another option. Perhaps you want your messages delivered to you instantaneously, or perhaps you want only one daily update. Whatever your preference, our physician answering service operators in Pittsburgh provide that customization for your medical practice.
