Pros
I use it daily for my job. However, my favorite part about Best Notes is the amazing customer service.
I looked into BestNotes and was very impressed with what it has to offer, and at a very affordable price.
As an outpatient therapist, this system allows is so user friendly and to have the customer support to help make forms that was already in place and not charge is a wonderful experience.
Cons
As we are new to using BestNotes I am not sure if its a technical error or user error but it fails to carry over the level of care for each client.
The software doesn't seem to be upgrading with the advances in technology. I still find it hard to navigate and make edits to a document without it making an error in the formatting.
Additionally, the file size constraints can be a limitation when working with government agencies who have extremely large patient files.

BestNotes, is one of my top picks for a busy Therapist with a heavy case load.

Reviewed 2 years ago

Overall, I have found that this changes the climate/morale in the office. Communication is clearer when all staff are signers on notes. I love this feature simply because, it ensures we are all on the same page, and collaboratively as a whole/team we are all directly involved in each clients treatment. This program saves you time, you're certainly not limited and are given the freedom to include a lot of detail. This system makes it great for insurance purposes, and licensing inspections. My job is so much easier.

Pros

I like that you can add as much as you need to your advancement notes and don't need to simply check boxes or what have you like different frameworks. At the point when you are in medical care, your encounters don't regularly fit in a case. At the point when you are making a clinical note, you can add certain underwriters, similar to a read receipt to keep everybody responsible which is likewise extremely supportive.

Cons

I honestly cannot think of any real cons about the program aside from the fact that, each staff member needs to be adequately trained prior to utilizing the software in order to ensure proper use, this is not a real requirement so to speak, I just feel as though if you're trained on how to use the Software, it will save time for questions that perhaps you would otherwise need to wait on a supervisor to answer.

Excellent Software

Reviewed 9 months ago
Pros

I appreciate that Best Notes is incredibly user friendly and easy to use. I use it daily for my job. However, my favorite part about Best Notes is the amazing customer service. I have never had such an easy time calling in and working with customer service. There has never been a wait time, and the support team is very knowledgeable, friendly and always helpful. They have been patient with me while learning new things about Best Notes and have helped me make my job more efficient.

Cons

This software has been a part of the company since before I started, but for me as a new employee, it was very easy to get the hang of the software. I have no complaints at this time.

Vendor response

Thank you for your kind words, we're so glad that you've found our software helpful and easy to use. We take pride in providing excellent customer service and are always happy to help out with any questions or concerns you may have. We hope that you keep using Best Notes for years to come!

Has become pure garbage

Reviewed 4 years ago

Used to be ok. Now with their support and better products out there, it’s WorstNotes “tm”

Pros

It’s cheap. It was great to use years ago. They were also a much better company years ago.

Cons

Same basic interface since day one. Zero updates. Hard to navigate. Customer support has become horrendous. Can only use from their program. Can’t use it on a phone because it isn’t web friendly, and their “app” does literally nothing.

Vendor response

Hi Ari, It pains me to hear that your experience with BestNotes was once great but became poor over time. Looking back at your use of BestNotes, it corresponds with an explosive period of growth we experienced. Indeed, our support team struggled during this time and we couldn't hire and train employees quick enough. This painful process has made us a much better company. We've overhauled the...

Best Notes allows me to do my job with efficiency!

Pros

Best Notes is easy to use. It's great having all our client files in one place and organized! I love how we can upload a photo of our clients to their electronic file. Customer services is amazing and works hard to resolve any issues that arise.

I wish I could search the notes I have written for a key word, like "dentist."

Exceptional Customer Service

Reviewed 9 months ago
Pros

I was an owner/biller of a mental health clinic and we always knew that we could call BestNotes with any problems that we encountered and that we would receive exceptional customer service.

Cons

Some of the billing reports could be updated to help bill more efficiently and ensure that claims are not missed.

Vendor response

BestNotes is extremely grateful for your continued support and partnership. We truly appreciate it and are committed to providing the best possible experience to our customers. If you ever have any other feedback or problems, don't hesitate to reach out to us at team@bestnotes.com. We would be more than happy to help resolve whatever issue you may have. Thank you again!
