Phoneside Manners: Strategies for Effective Communication

As the first point of contact that a patient has with your office, what transpires after the phone’s first ring can set the tone for the entire patient experience and impact patient satisfaction. Phoneside manners occur before a patient even walks through your front doors and can determine the outcome, mindset, and overall satisfaction of a patient’s experience. Providing patients with an excellent experience starts the moment they dial your number.
