Why do dr offices not answer their phones anymore?

Its ridiculous they just want you to leave a voicemail for call back. That doesnt work for me because I get telemarketers calling me all day everyday. What are their secretaries doing?

Dude I saw an ad on Facebook to make money so I stupidly left my phone number on the site and now I’m bombarded by their spam calls. It’s so freaking annoying I have no idea how to put a stop to it.

The VA is like that, you can never talk to someone in the office, it goes to an answering service.

I totally agree. They definitely don’t answer their phones. If they do, the wait takes forever, and I’m put on hold right away.

Since Amazon acquired the primary-care service One Medical, elderly patients have been routed to a call center — staffed partly by contractors with limited training — that failed on more than a dozen occasions to seek immediate attention for callers with urgent symptoms, according to internal documents seen by The Washington Post.
