Last year, we phoned over 100 dental practices to understand how receptionists handle patient calls, and we were SHOCKED by the results.
Based on what we learnt, we put together the Dental Receptionist Greeting Script to help receptionists make the best first impression and increase the likelihood of turning a complete stranger into a patient.
