Pros

“The only reason we didn't switch to a better platform sooner was because my entire practice and systems were built around the software so switching and training on new software was such a huge undertaking (and they are aware of that and why they raise prices 10-15% each year for their customers).”

Andrew K.

Owner - Clinic Director

“In 2012, as our clinical needs grew, we started using Care360 until 2019-2020, when its parent company, Quest Quanum, started to phase it out.”

Sayed H.

Physician

“Talk to your financial institutions to stop automatic payments to Crchrono.”

Sayed H.

Physician

Pros

“I also liked the format of writing up notes for patient encounters as well as the messaging system between provider and patients.”

Suzanne C.

Dentist

“The core platform is essentially stagnant, while they focus on building new products to upsell you with (and force you into using).”

Jenna L.

Director of Operations

“I like the ability to communicate privately and securely between multiple practitioners and clients.”

Christine B.

Pilates transformation expert

Cons

“On-Boarding failed to generate simple forms we needed(neither a printable blank superbill encounter ticket, nor a blank clinical template form for pasting a note generated via an external ambient listening software).”

Sayed H.

Physician

“Resort to your legal resources, if Drchrono does not release you from the agreement and/or refund you the money you have paid to Drchrono without being able to use their products.”

Sayed H.

Physician

“They read like internal accounting ledgers rather than clear, patient-friendly statements, forcing staff to manually recreate statements each time a patient requests one.”

Charbel H.

Chiro

Cons

“Customer service is frequently unresponsive and they won't respond to even basic requests without upselling you (even just access to the API to build integrations, which during the sales process, they promised was a fundamental part of the core platform).”

Jenna L.

Director of Operations

“They keep building crappy versions of other tools (like an AI scribe) and then refusing to allow you to integrate better versions, because they want you to pay for theirs.”

Jenna L.

Director of Operations

“Their proposed solution was for me to hire additional staff to handle the added workload this change created—a costly and inefficient resolution. When I found an alternative software solution that could bridge the gap, Elation would only permit integration if I first paid for software development time (a reasonable request I was willing to meet), but on top of that, they demanded an additional $500 per month, per provider, indefinitely.”
