Well that's one nuance - another against voicemail for Doctors is that if you truly have an emergency, then it's possible practitioners are liable if you suffer while leaving a voicemail (or as a result of no one listening to that voicemail in time). Consequently, none of my doctors have a voicemail, so I'm forced to use their app to communicate with them, even if I just want a "you and/or kids are probably ok, come in if things get worse" confirmation. Very few have an "answering service" that has a real person transcribe and page the doctor (and advise you call 911 if it sounds like an emergency) but I imagine this is too expensive for most.
