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. In Raleigh, that pressure is amplified: callers from Downtown Raleigh and Cary and the wider Raleigh–Durham usually have several other dental options open before they dial the first number.
Nicole answers your Raleigh line on the first ring, in your business name, and asks the questions you would ask — what the problem is, where in Raleigh–Durham 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 Raleigh–Durham you cover, she says so politely instead of booking a job you would have to cancel.
