Verdict
MedicalVirtual for anything under full-time. My Mountain Mover for a full-time seat with onboarding and IT support bundled and three experience tiers to choose from.
MedicalVirtual is the wrong choice if
You need someone physically in the office, pooled 24/7 overflow answering from a single part-time seat, or a US-citizen assistant for policy reasons.
My Mountain Mover is the wrong choice if
Your workload only justifies 10–20 hours a week; the published model is full-time.
