As a busy NHS / Private Dental Practice with the majority of patient communications and appointment booking occurring over the telephone, it frustrated me when receptionists were unable to deal with the volume of calls we would receive daily. Patients would often explain that they had found it difficult to 'get through to us' especially during our busy times early in the morning.
I searched long and hard and considered a number of options when deciding on a system that would work for us to ensure every telephone call possible was answered and dealt with.
Most options involved a significant initial investment in the form of a new telephone system, with multiple additional monthly line rental charges.....then I found Direct Numbers!
A seemless transitions was essential for us as we couldn't tolerate any interruption to our ability to handle calls. The team at Direct Numbers have been excellent in providing me with a custom made solution for our practice.Their customer support is second to none.Any enquiries we have had have been dealt with swiftly. We now have a call waiting system that rivals any professional organisation without the price tag of a new telephone system .The online portal is fantastic...we recently needed to introduce 'options' to our telephone system to allow patients to be directed to the co rrect department. By using the portal I was able to set this up with a few clicks of a mouse and it was active on our telephone number within seconds.
I am truly impressed with the excellent functionality this new system gives us. I would thoroughly recommend it as a cost effective solution for any company looking for an effective way to manage their phonecalls whilst having ultimate control over the content of messages and options via an easy to use online portal.
In a recent survey conducted at the practice, thanks to the new system our patients reported being extremely satisfied with their ability to speak to a receptionist and book an appointment in a timely manner.
