World class 24 hour answering service
family owned and operated since 1972.

We are your traditional answering service providing the most technically advanced services at all times. There are NO limitations to the services we provide and you deserve. Our name, although it gives the impression that we only service the medical community we actually have a very diverse client base that includes many commercial accounts.

Bay Area Medical Exchange is traditional in that we have been OWNED and OPERATED by the same family for over 45 years now. It was started with a husband and wife team, a handful of physicians (literally) an original cord board and 2 phones lines. Since 1994 we have been operated by the next generation in the family, we have clients all over the world, utilize the most advanced technology and are up to 5,000 incoming lines. The original idea of opening our doors came when the owner, Dave Reynard was a police officer and used the 2-way radios for communication with the Police Department. He was the very first person to bring this technology to the local physicians to use in the same manner as the police department but instead he purchased his own radio license so that he could have the physicians on separate frequency. They LOVED the idea that they could leave their home or office and still be reached while doing rounds at the hospital or out to dinner. Although he retired from the daily operations over 10 years ago he still is active in developing software that remains on the cutting edge of technology.

Since 1994 his daughter Heather Whitlock has taken over the daily operations along with Amanda Brenner. Every client is taken care of as if they were Bay Area Medical's ONLY client. You will always receive one on one customer service. Our policy is NEVER get too big that you cannot service the clients in the same fashion you have since inception!

  • In Memoriam
    David J Whitlock
    (1968 - 2022)

    Bay Area Medical Exchange has lost an exceptional part of their team and family.

    David was best at his abilities to pick up right where the founder, Dave Reynard left off once he decided to retire in 2012. He was very strategic in always advancing our technology and beyond meticulous about his server rooms.

    However many that worked along side of Him would argue that the best part was his smile. He always treated everyone like family. David's legacy will live on through his family that continue to run the company.
