A new patient is worth years of recurring care, and dental emergencies do not respect office hours. A phone that rings out on a Friday afternoon is a patient who calls the practice down the street.

Nicole answers your Boston line on the first ring, in your business name, and asks the questions you would ask — what the problem is, where in Greater Boston the property is, whether it is urgent, and when they are available. Typical calls she handles for a dental practice include new patient enquiries, dental emergencies, insurance and cost questions, appointment changes.
She also respects your boundaries. If the caller is outside the part of Greater Boston you cover, she says so politely instead of booking a job you would have to cancel.
