Why a medical or dental practice might be calling you
Practices ring patients to confirm or move appointments, to pass on results, and to recall people who are due for something, usually within office hours.
A real practice will not ask for card details or identity documents over the phone to confirm an appointment.
This describes the kind of business the number is listed against. It is not a statement about who placed any particular call.
