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

“The system was presented as a way to streamline our operations, improve efficiency, and bring our scheduling, patient records, photographs, communications, payments and other essential functions together.”

Natalie J.

Owner

“It helps streamline daily operations, improve communication with patients, and keeps important information organized and easily accessible.”

Louise C.

Patient Care Coordinator

“I liked how PatientNow combines patient management, scheduling, marketing, and reporting tools into one platform.”

Louise C.

Patient Care Coordinator

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

“The biggest drawback is that certain features can feel complicated to navigate, especially when setting up reports, templates, billing and invoicing patient payments, and custom settings.”

Louise C.

Patient Care Coordinator

“We also experienced duplicate patient records, thousands of missing dates of birth, checkout/functionality problems, and an implementation process that caused significant disruption to our daily operations.”

Natalie J.

Owner

“After numerous attempts to resolve the issues and ultimately requesting cancellation of PatientNow and Recura, I am still waiting for meaningful communication from senior leadership.”
