A 24/7 answering service built for pediatric practices.
Live, U.S.-based agents trained on pediatric protocols cover your phones when your team can’t — after hours, over lunch, during your busiest times, or whenever you need extra coverage. Calls are handled according to your practice preferences, helping families reach a real person while giving your team one less thing to juggle.
Your phone doesn’t wait for a convenient time to ring.
A worried parent may call after hours, over lunch, or right when your team is stretched thinnest. Having someone there to answer means the phone doesn’t become one more thing competing for your team’s attention.
When families know they can reach your practice around the clock, they have a familiar place to turn when questions or concerns come up — rather than looking elsewhere for answers or care.
Someone else may answer the phone, but your team stays connected to what happened. You set the preferences for when calls are covered and how they’re routed, with messages and handoffs there when your team needs them.
Your calls, covered when and how you need them.
Turn call forwarding on or off based on your practice’s needs — after hours, during lunch, at peak times, or whenever your team could use the extra coverage.
U.S.-based agents are available 24/7 to answer patient calls, so families reach a person instead of an unanswered line.
Calls are triaged and routed based on your preferences, connecting urgent needs with the appropriate on-call provider while keeping their personal phone number private when calling families back.
Messages and notes are securely forwarded between providers, so the next person has the information they need to take it from there.
When your team steps away, your phone coverage doesn’t have to stop.

The doors lock. The phone doesn't stop.
About 128 of the 168 hours in a week fall outside your open door. The fever at 11:04pm and the croup at 1:15am are answered live by agents trained in pediatric protocols, then sorted by urgency: the calls that need your on-call provider reach them now, and the refill and the form wait in the morning queue, documented.
What to expect with a pediatric 24/7 answering service.
Office Practicum’s 24/7 answering service provides live phone coverage for pediatric practices when their own team can’t answer, including after hours, over lunch, during busy periods, or whenever extra coverage is needed. Calls are handled according to the practice’s preferences, with urgent needs routed to the appropriate on-call provider and other requests captured for follow-up.
