Registered Nurse

The AI dictation feature has been a huge time-saver, accurately capturing my notes and reducing the amount of typing I have to do.

We are a new practice and the ease of which we can update our electronic forms and patient data be replicated in provider treatment notes or vice versa is a game changer.

Director

Automation and efficiency: Features like automated reminders, aftercare forms, and newsletters help reduce manual tasks.

Doctor

Everything is one place, marketing, clinical documentation, phototaking and also being able to book clients and send out relevant information and forms.

Founder and Adult Nurse Practitioner

Pabau has helped streamline all aspects of my practice from online bookings and consent forms, to treatment notes, photos, and marketing follow-up.

Pabau is incredibly comprehensive — it combines bookings, patient records, invoicing, consent forms, marketing, and finance into one streamlined platform.

CEO, CFO

Huge shout out to [sensitive content hidden] for the strategic guidance and sage methods of presenting our offerings in ways I had not even thought of. And of course, humongous props to [sensitive content hidden] for understanding our product from the onset, making erudite suggestions about how we should structure our EMR to maximize efficiency/minimize data entry. When we had deadlines materialize out of nowhere (things tend to happen like that when you're starting your own practice, I've come to [painfully] find out) he would find a way to fit me into his tight schedule to solve the issue swiftly and efficiently; at times, speaking directly to my web designer to expedite the process.

As a medical practitioner running my own clinic, it gives me the structure I need to manage clinical documentation, financials, and patient communication all in one place.

Aesthetic Nurse

Having changed over from one provider to Pabau there is a lot more to offer in order to make digital records easier to manage, however for a small business with 3 staff it has been time consuming and at times very slow in getting set up.

Chief I.T and Legal Officer

We have been able to manage our business like never before through the platform enabling us to track our doctors and all procedure done to our patients.

Clinic Owner and Clinical Specialist

The digital consent forms and treatment notes also allow me to go fully paperless, which is not only professional but also very efficient for keeping records secure and accessible.

Owner

It offers a wide range of great features for scheduling, patient management, and marketing—all in one place.

The App is not as intuitive as the web version, the pop up windows and navigation is not as user friendly as the web version.

As a US-based user, I occasionally need clarification on which features apply to our regulations. But the support team has been responsive and helpful whenever I’ve needed clarification.

Business Development Manager

Overall Pabau is great for what you need. when it is flowing through it works wonders, some of the features are amazing for the business, especially the braodcasts, online bookings and so much more.

Medical Director

I also love how easily Pabau lets us merge data from other workflows directly into the clinical record.

Practice Manager

When the portal is open and being used by multiple devices, it does not update unanimously on each device until the page is refreshed. Once you know this, you get into a habit of actively refreshing the page before booking someone in to avoid double bookings.

Managing Director

We have to use lots of workarounds to track progress so we have many spreadsheets running alongside it and the reporting function is sub par to really get proper detail about what's happening in the business without paying extra for custom reports

Ability to prepopulate forms and use AI and Macros

The staff is super helpful and provides outstanding customer support and online training on all aspects, such as setting up an account, configuring Pabau to my needs, helping with Stripe integration, uploading my templates, marketing advice, tips for my practice, etc.

Aesthetic therapist

At times certain functions can glich or not allow you to save new information.

Physiotherapist

I could only have one location set up with the basic package - as a new start up with not many clients I don’t need the larger package but I am working from multiple locations to try and capture as many people as possible but have had to have different systems for that.

Aesthetic Practitioner

It makes managing appointments, client records, and communication so much easier.

The onboarding process feels quite complicated and there is a massive influx of multiple emails which makes it confusing.

Administrator

You don't need to purchase countless add-ons to access the tools that everyone values, which sets it apart from other companies.

Pabau 2 is exceptionally user-friendly and offers a comprehensive range of features designed to optimise client record-keeping and communications.

There is an initial 7-10 day delay whilst data is being migrated onto the system.

It brings together appointment scheduling, clinical documentation, and patient communication in one place.

owner medical practicemedspa

Not sure how the credit system will work for primary care as I have to use credits for daily use.

I also appreciate the excellent AI integration, which offers plenty of opportunities to explore and implement new features.

It’s not a deal-breaker, but it does add a small learning curve for American clinics using the system.

Pharmacist Aesthetic Practitioner

Following initial setup with a service advisor (which can take time) it’s by far the best system for us to take bookings, collate detail regarding patients and so so much more to come too.

Nurse practitioner

The software has lots to offer from notes and records to emails

Therapist

Pabau booking system has streamlined our operations, improved patient engagement, and freed up valuable staff time.

I really appreciate that it is an all-inclusive system where everything I need is in one place, making daily operations smooth and efficient.

Managing Partner

implementaiton support, and customet service , system looks compresensiv.

Nothing liked interactive service and ability to detail query so enabled a positive response and ease of access on my outlook account.

The leads section/ reports and few section takes time to load.

A special shout-out to  [sensitive content hidden] for his thorough explanations and for taking the time to tailor the system to fit our clinic’s specific needs.

Overall, Pabau has improved both my charting efficiency and the quality of our clinic's records.

Lots of ways of informing patients about treatments and what they entail.

The pabau team is quite extensive and trying to setup as quickly as possible, did not give time to understand and think anything else.

Dermatologist

Would like more colour to differentiate between the stages of bookings

Pabau is a user-friendly and efficient software that makes managing the clinic so much easier.

Clinic Manager

easy diary management, good for patient record and concern forms, straightforward to use, helpful marketing features

Manager

The appointment scheduling feature is particularly impressive, allowing for seamless booking and automated reminders.

The features work seamlessly, and it’s really helped save time on admin tasks.

I expected the transition to a new EHR to be a daunting, solo task that would take days of my time.

This software has truly changed everything for my business, making it far more effective and allowing me to better support my clients.

Navigation and usability challenges

Clinic Manager 

The booking tool is clunky and makes no sense, ideally you would go onto a patient profile then from there should be able to see times and dates etc.

owner

The diary can also be hard to navigate, looks a bit old fashioned compared to alternative systems.

LMBT, MSPT, OWNER

It handles everything I need it to (scehduling in oerson and online, email blasts, reminders, google reviews, gift certificates, reports, documentation, payments).

Massage Therapist

I love the integrated features they have like the square payment processing integration, email campaigns for marketing, clients birthdays, and client retention.

Massage Therapist and Esthetician

I do massage therapy and some Esthetic services and I’m able to use this booking service for all my treatment and even create my own waiver forms for my clients to fill out and sign.

If you have a clinic of more than one practitioner I do not recommend using this booking system. While the price is inexpensive there are constant glitches that will change booking settings, the reminders will remind of appointments on the wrong date, and you soon realize that you get what you paid for.

Licensed Massage Therapist and owner

I love their fast and specific customer service, the seamlessness of booking clients and intake, the email campaigning, and most of all their SOAP nots section!

Medical Massage Practitioner

I've had excellent customer support the few times I've needed help.   And the features for handling clients, scheduling, intake forms, and SOAP notes are robust and very flexible.

Owner RMT

As an example, if I work Monday through Friday, 9am to 6pm now and I want to change to Monday through Thursday, 1pm to 8pm in the new year, I can't set that and have my online schedule reflect this correctly.

RMT, Reflexologist, Manual Osteopath, Reiki Master

The value, customer support, appointment scheduling, and reminder notifications are all offerings that I like most about ClinicSense.

Also, I like to new wait list feature, it allows my  clients to add themselves to the waitlist for convenience.

Licensed massage therapist

I wish when using my Square terminal for payments on Clinicsense,  that it would allow the option to print a credit card receipt immediately from the Square terminal for the client, not just an email.

Licensed Massage Therapist Owner

ClinicSense has helped transform my solo practice into a thriving multi-practitioner hub in my area for best in class service.

Registered Massage Therapist

Right now if I need to provide the file to a lawyer (for example), I need to download each treatment note separately, which for clients who have been coming to me for years can take a lot of time.

RMT and Owner

It is very user friendly, the short codes when doing notes, appointment reminders to clients (they also enjoy that) and sending out forms to clients

Owner operator

I use the email newsletter section to keep my clients updated on my availability if I am taking holidays and my clients have often responded how much they like this feature.  

They are fast and easy to deal with customer service wise, they transferred all of my clients over with no extra mark-up- and when I had trouble navigating the site and working out the links they sent me a personalized video ironing out the problem in MINUTES.

The app doesn’t have a way to write client notes so I either need to have a laptop at my office or wait until I get home to enter notes.

REGISTERED MASSAGE THERAPIST

Having scheduling, charting, invoicing, and client communication all integrated into one platform saves a lot of time and streamlines day-to-day practice management.

So if i cfrate a holiday card and want to put it in my email, i can not attach the file anymore.

LMT, CES

I love the abilility to manage my clients, do soap notes, and get credit cards on file to reduce cancellations or charge no shows.
