What is a virtual medical receptionist?

The term ‘Virtual Receptionist’ sounds fancy and high-tech, but at WellReceived, our virtual receptionists are real people making real connections. As a remote organization, we often come across the question, “what is a virtual receptionist?” fairly often. Yet, the answer is simple – a virtual receptionist is a receptionist who works remotely!

If someone calls your office and you’re unable to answer the phone, the call will automatically route to your dedicated virtual receptionist. Then, the receptionist will either take a message, schedule an appointment, or route to the call to someone at the practice who can better assist.
