Veterinary Answering Service
We are the face of your clinic when you’re not there. Every call counts!
Veterinary call processing must be handled quickly, accurately and with sensitivity to the caller and the on-call doctor. With a three decade history of handling medical calls, human emergency call processing has shaped every facet of Centratel’s veterinary services operation.
Small animal, large animal, exotic and equine answering service: Centratel has the resources, both human and technical, to offer the veterinarian worry-free and reliable call screening and dispatch.
Absolutely dependable, it’s the job of the Centratel Telephone Service Representative (TSR) to carefully follow your relay instructions, finding a balance between needlessly disturbing the on-call veterinarian and efficiently connecting him or her to clients who truly need immediate assistance. Based on our medical specialty, and on feedback from hundreds of physicians and veterinarians, we’ve developed 1-2-3 answering service procedures to provide a nearly zero-defect call screening process.
