Our office was using this answering service when I started in 2003. Always very polite and professional. I am now the manager that oversees and providers call schedule, so I work closely with the answering service. Kerry and Joe came to my office on a few occasions to see how things can improve. They listened to our concerns and came up with a plan. What’s important is that Kerry has followed up with me to make sure things continue to run smoothly.
