Real People, True Stories.
Fast Placement with Quality Candidates:
“I think it was two days. You came with three excellent candidates and and I’m not exaggerating.”
“When you came with some stellar candidates, I was impressed and and a little surprised because we don’t always get you know, hiring on site. We don’t always get our our final team member on the first try. So that was pretty impressive.”
Relief for On-Site Staff:
“Where we were getting slowed down was in our clinic with our patient facing technicians. The intake part of the exam… So our virtual assistant is so on point. her recordkeeping is stellar.”
“One of the doctors spoke up and said that she had come across one of her intake documentation the records and she said it was absolutely on point… she just mentioned it in conversation and said that it was just exceptional. So that has really taken kind of a burden off of our patientfacing team to have all of that information ready for them when they walk in the door. so they can really just start into the clinical exam.”
Exceptional and Pressure-Free Communication:
“Your company and you and everyone actually have been very patient with us in our learning curve in starting something new. So patience, communication and and it’s I want to be very clear. It’s been communication without pressure. There’s been no pressure to let’s do this fast, let’s get this done.”
Operational Ease and Simple Billing:
“But also just the ease of doing business with you. The billing is very simple. all I have to do is review it and go with it. It’s not there’s nothing cumbersome.”
Strong Support Structure:
“Working with your company, everyone and honestly I think from the founder and everyone in between have been again communic communicative and patient and very kind and very people centered.”
Precise Candidate Matching:
“I don’t know if it was just first time luck or I have a feeling you re really vet your virtual assistants very well because you got to know me a little bit and just what revision is about and again you came with such strong candidates”
“Personality has played a lot into it as well.”

Core Responsibilities: Bianca’s primary focus is answering phone calls and scheduling. Additionally, she handles collection calls for outstanding bills, performs appointment reminders, enters new patient paperwork, and verifies insurance plans.
Operational Improvements: Since bringing Bianca on, the office has seen increased consistency and reliability. Because the office is now consistently staffed and calls are answered, the practice is booked weeks in advance.
Professionalism: Dr. Gushing describes the experience as seamless, noting that Bianca is professional, proactive, and quickly handles any task requested of her.
Dr. Katie Gusching
Prior to hiring a Virtual Assistant, I personally handled tasks such as gathering medical records, responding to client inquiries, coordinating appointments, and managing a demanding waiting list. These responsibilities significantly reduced the time I could dedicate to seeing patients.
My DocVA Joseph has taken over managing the waiting list, responding to clients and their inquiries, and gathering medical records. He has also taken on organizing and summarizing medical records, which has been wonderful.
One of the things that stands out to me the most is how quickly Joseph was able to adapt to the way I work. What I do is not traditional psychiatry—it involves independent medical opinions that are more medical-legal in nature.
He was able to adapt to that very quickly. I essentially showed him the process once, and he was then able to take ownership of those tasks independently, which has been very impressive.

Frequently Asked Questions
We tried a virtual assistant before and it didn't work out. What makes DocVA different?
The most common reasons VMAs fail are generic staff without medical knowledge, rotating coverage that prevents any real continuity, and vendors who disappear after placement. DocVA addresses all three. Your VA is a licensed healthcare professional — an RN, pharmacist, certified biller, or experienced medical scribe — who already understands medical workflows, not someone learning on the job. You work with the same person every day, so they actually learn your practice. And if a placement isn’t working, we intervene quickly and find a replacement.
How much time will I spend training a new VA?
Less than you’d spend onboarding an in-office hire. Because DocVA VAs come with clinical or administrative credentials and proven familiarity with U.S. insurance and healthcare workflows, the foundational knowledge is already there. You’re training them on your systems and preferences, not on what a prior authorization is. Most practices report that their VA is running independently within the first few weeks.
Is my patient data actually secure with a remote worker overseas?
Yes, and it’s protected by two layers of compliance. Your DocVA VA is HIPAA-certified and handles PHI to the same standard as your in-office staff. They’re also bound by the Philippines’ Data Privacy Act of 2012, which carries serious legal penalties for unauthorized disclosure of private information. Their devices are equipped with monitoring software, and DocVA provides cybersecurity guidance as part of onboarding.
Will my VA be able to work in our EHR/EMR system?
Yes. DocVA VAs work within whatever system your practice already uses, with no required software on your end. Because they’re integrated into your workflows rather than running on a separate platform, the transition is minimal.
What happens if my VA isn't working out?
We fix it fast. If performance is the issue, DocVA intervenes directly because your VA has support on our end, not just yours. If it’s a fit issue (personality, communication style, pace), we find you a replacement. You’re not stuck managing a staffing problem alone, and you’re not locked into a contract while you wait for a resolution.
Do I need to worry about AI replacing this role soon?
AI tools are useful for specific tasks, but they don’t replace the judgment, communication, and workflow flexibility an experienced human brings to your front office. DocVA VAs can also work alongside AI tools your practice already uses if needed. What a VA provides that AI doesn’t is accountability, patient rapport, and the ability to handle the unexpected.
Is there a minimum commitment or contract?
There is a contract, but there is not a lock-in period. You can cancel anytime. We’re confident enough in the quality of our placements that we don’t need to lock you in to keep your business.
Build Your Support Team With DocVA
We will walk you through the roles worth staffing first, the credentials that fit each one, the coverage hours your patients need, and what a team looks like at your volume. From there, the team can show how virtual support fits your operations without changing your systems.
