After-Hours Call Transfers
VoiceStack enables dental practices to manage after-hours calls intelligently, ensuring crucial patient needs are addressed even when the clinic is closed.
The Trusted Phone System For Growing Enterprise DSOs
The After-Hours Call Challenge
Traditional phone systems treat all after-hours calls the same, making it challenging to identify urgent needs and leading to missed or delayed patient communication.
The After-Hours Dental Problems
01.
Emergency calls are routed to voicemail rather than the appropriate team member.
02.
No clear escalation paths exist for urgent situations.
03.
On-call teams get overwhelmed with unfiltered calls.
04.
Patients are left unsure of the next steps after hours.

Dr Robbie Hughes Founder
“The Potential Opportunities feature showed us how many new patients were calling, ready to begin treatment. Before VoiceStack, we converted only 20–30% of those inquiries. Today, we convert over 90% and use call tracking to refine our marketing ROI.”
