I've used Best Reception for around 1 year now. I've found the service superb. My customers comment on how cheerful and professional the call handling is. They are always looking to help and do their job better. How proficient Best Reception is at their job has even helped me from time to time with the extra details noted on conversations by the call handlers. Excellent service and well worth it's money.

I used Best Reception for 2 years during a particularly busy period when my location-based Reception was unable to use Cliniko as I moved away from a paper-based diary. Knowing someone would answer the telephone quickly, reliably and make bookings on my diary accurately while I was busy with patients was reassuring and took a load of stress off me. Any issues that arose were minor, quickly resolved with the team managers, communication was great. Overall I wouldn't hesitate to use them again - great service & good value for money.

Efficient and friendly service. 😊 Edit - 2021 a year later -Best reception continually give an excellent service and have been so supportive during this very difficult year. Also more recently I have had 2 patients in the last week comment what a pleasant receptionist I have - and how friendly helpful and clear she is. Well done best reception staff!
Foot Factor has been working with Best Reception for many years - they are an amazing team, very professional and always ready (and able!) to adapt to regular changes we make in our diary. Our clients appreciate an easy booking service, they're surprised not to find the receptionist at the clinic when they come for their appointment. We appreciate a small, friendly, dedicated team who really know Foot Factor well. Thank you!
