Virtual Receptionist for Osteopaths
As an osteopath, your time is best spent treating patients, not constantly checking missed calls, voicemails and appointment messages. But when calls are missed, new patient enquiries can easily be lost.
The VA Team provides professional virtual receptionist support for osteopaths, helping you manage incoming calls, appointment requests and patient enquiries with care and consistency.
THE PROBLEM
The Problems Osteopaths Face
Many osteopaths work alone or in small practices, which means reception support is not always available. When you are with a patient, answering the phone is not practical. But ignoring the phone can cost you bookings. Common problems include:
Missed calls during treatment sessions
Difficulty managing appointments between patients
No receptionist during holidays or sickness
Limited cover for staff sickness or holidays
New patients not being followed up quickly
Cancelled or changed appointments creating diary gaps
Admin tasks building up during the day
Poor call response affecting your professional image

CASE STUDY

An osteopath working independently was missing calls during treatment hours. Many callers were new patients looking for availability that week.
The VA Team supported the practice by answering calls, capturing new patient details and managing appointment requests. This improved response times and helped reduce lost enquiries.

What is the process for the call answering service?
Number Diverting: The client company diverts their business phone number to the phone number of the call answering service. This is usually done through their telephone service provider or through VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) system settings.
Call Reception: When a call comes in on the diverted number, it is received by the answering service rather than the client's office. The service’s receptionists answer using the client company's name, acting as if they are part of the company.
Interaction Handling: The operators at the answering service are trained to handle different types of interactions based on the guidelines provided by the client.
Message Relay: If a message is taken, the call answering service ensures that it is forwarded promptly to the right person or department within the client's company.
What happens after Hours?
The call will be received in a professional voicemail, and one of the call answering service receptionists will return it the next working day.
Will you answer calls in our clinic's name?
Yes. We answer calls as part of your team, using your preferred greeting and call-handling script.
Can you handle overflow calls or cover while my in-house Receptionist is on Holiday ?
es. Many clinics use us when their in-house receptionist is unavailable or when call volumes increase.
Will my customers know they are speaking to a Virtual Receptionist?
No, our team is trained to integrate with your business seamlessly. We answer calls professionally using your business name and follow your specific guidelines, ensuring a consistent and professional experience for your customers.
Do you help with medical billing?
While our Virtual Assistants handle call answering, appointment scheduling, and admin tasks, we also provide medical billing services. We can assist with basic invoicing, payment follow-ups, and liaising with medical insurance to streamline your process
