On Call Central puts your medical answering service in your pocket. Take call, return patient calls, and manage your practice's after-hours communication from a fast, secure app.
Completely rebuilt from the ground up for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, the new On Call Central opens faster, feels instantly responsive, and uses up to 77% less memory than the previous version, so it stays quick even on older devices.
