When a patient calls, it\u2019s extremely obvious that they aren\u2019t talking to your practice, they can\u2019t get their questions answered, and they usually end the call frustrated <em>without <\/em>scheduling an appointment, which directly impacts your practice. You still need an answering service, but isn\u2019t there one that can do a better job of actually becoming part of your practice?<\/p>\n<p>At Dental Support Specialties, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentalsupportspecialties.com\/\">that\u2019s exactly our goal<\/a>. We\u2019ll not only answer your phones, but we\u2019ll also make sure your patients always feel like they are talking directly to you.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>How We\u2019re Different<\/h2>\n<p>Most answering services just take calls and receive messages\u2026and that\u2019s it. They make little effort to actually learn about your practice, and basically end up becoming a very expensive and unhelpful answering machine.<\/p>\n<p>At DSS, we go beyond the basics. When you partner with us, our team will get to work learning everything they can about your practice. That way, when patients call in, it\u2019ll seem like they are talking to you and not some third-party. This will make them feel much more comfortable, and they\u2019ll even be able to have their questions answered.<\/p>\n<p>Our team will become an extension of yours. We\u2019ll seamlessly integrate our processes into yours so there will be no disruption to your daily flow. You\u2019ll be able to just sit back and know that your schedule is being filled and your patients are being served.<\/p>\n<h2>What You\u2019ll Get With Us<\/h2>\n<p>When using DSS as your answering service, you can expect:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>5-Star Service: <\/strong>Each of our team members is highly trained in the basics of exceptional customer service.
