Yes! All of DocVA’s virtual medical assistants are fluent English speakers. Strong communication skills are a high priority for us and our clients. The vast majority of our medical VAs are from The Philippines, where English is the first language taught from birth. The Philippines has the largest English-speaking population in the world after the U.S. and the U.K., even more than Australia and New Zealand.

The Philippines is known worldwide for its strong work ethic, a traditional part of its culture. While paying only $10 per hour is a bargain for U.S. businesses, in The Philippines, $10 per hour in U.S. dollars represents a top-tier salary, so your VAs are motivated to keep their positions with great work and doctor satisfaction.
