Case Study: Seattle Dental Clinic

  • Lack of bilingual (English–Chinese) front-desk staff, making it difficult to schedule appointments for Chinese-speaking patients efficiently
  • High front-desk labor costs and no coverage during weekends or after business hours
  • Staff overwhelmed by insurance paperwork and appointment management

Solution:
The clinic hired a bilingual (English–Chinese) Callnovo virtual assistant (40 hours/week) to handle:

  • Communication with Chinese-speaking patients
  • Insurance verification and documentation
