<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With virtually all healthcare businesses currently needing a way to send real-time communication while minimizing the need for in-person and phone interactions as much as possible, many practices without an easy-to-use solution are forced to shut their doors. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Thankfully, WGM Orthodontics is leveraging text messaging to keep patient appointments and continue to serve its community. </span></p>

That personal contact and relationship is invaluable when you can&#8217;t wait for digital, impersonal, and automated customer relations departments to get things done as quickly as needed in a crisis.”</span></p>
