Our goal at Berkshire Dental Group of Broken Arrow is to do everything we can to make receiving dental care comfortable and convenient for our patients.

To that end, we’re proud to announce that we’re now using the LSA Interpretation App to help us conduct appointments in practically every language a patient might speak.

Keep reading to learn more about how this works and will make our services accessible to a broader range of people than ever before.

How Does It Work?

The Language Services Associates (LSA) Interpretation App is simple—it allows our team to use just a smartphone and internet connection to have access to professional interpreters who can provide services in real-time (both audio and video) for over 240 languages (including ASL).

Whether we’re communicating with a patient on the phone, via email, or in the office, they can speak their native language and be confident that our team understands them 100%.

LSA has been providing these types of services since 1991 and is one of the leading brands in making a more multicultural world easier to navigate both at home and abroad.

It Makes a Difference

While it’s relatively easy to find a dental office that can accommodate Spanish-speaking patients, it’s quite difficult when it comes to languages like Mandarin, Hindi, Vietnamese, and many others that have smaller population centers in the Broken Arrow area.

As a result, many people simply forgo dental care because they don’t think they’ll be understood, or they have to inconvenience a family member to serve as a translator (which isn’t an easy job that just anyone can do!).

With the LSA Interpretation App, all of that potential stress is removed. A patient can trust that they are being understood, our team can know that we’re fully aware of the patient’s needs and wants, and there is (literally) nothing lost in translation, making the entire experience more transparent and seamless.

Schedule an Appointment Today

If you have a non-English speaking family member who has avoided going to the dentist because of language issues, know that Berkshire Dental Group of Broken Arrow has now completely removed this barrier. We literally have professional interpreters at our fingertips, meaning your loved one can finally get the care they need while enjoying peace of mind throughout the process.
