need: caller ID to show name without number

I'm a doctor, and I'd like to be able to call patients and have them see my name, but not get my cell phone number. Is there a way to set up my caller ID for this? Verizon is our carrier, and it's an iPhone 13 Pro with updated software. thx

I searched thru the Apple Support pages but could not find a way to set this up. But they did suggest you contact Verizon and see if they can help. Hopefully they can. Yours is a reasonable request.


This USA Today article offers some suggestions.

But FYI, I tested calling by using *67 immediately before the number. It not only blocked my phone number, but it blocked my name, as well. The article's suggestion of using a burner phone may be your best bet if Verizon cannot help.


One last suggestion - If you want to keep it as simple as possible, call using your iPhone and if a patient does try to call you back on that number, you can always block them.
