My Best Practice

TherapyNotes, LLC

Intake Coordinator

The surveys feature is exceptionally helpful to guide our clinicians' treatment with a wide range of populations and families, and makes it easy for us to explore the effectiveness of our treatments.

OT, Director 

They have also been an asset in training new therapists and fieldwork students.

Founding President, CEO, & Chief Psychologist

Our team has been very impressed with My Best Practice, including its level of detail and usability, quick ease of migration, cost-effectiveness, and excellent customer service.

Practice Manager

It makes it clear to decipher between appointment types. Since I am constantly switches between providers in my daily tasks, I needed an EHR system that would be fast yet simple and easy to use.

Billing and Operations Manager

It is a bit glitchy, and sometimes it is not very intuitive.

Director and Professor

MBP is both comprehensive and easy to use, a combination that I have not seen in other electronic medical records.  

Owner

Customer service is adequate, but might not respond until the next day.

What I like most from this software is the ease of use of keeping a schedule, charging clients, and writing psychological notes.

Staff Therapist and Supervisor

It is very easy to use the "Telehealth" feature and take notes at the same time while in virtual sessions.

Nurse Practitioner/Practice Owner

We have not fully integrated the e-prescribing feature.

The transition to using the system was straightforward, there were people available to answer questions and provide assistance.
