Pros

“We were able to manage electronic documents digitally which we had never done before, run reports, manage schedules all in one place, and claims and billing were all in one place.”

Erica M.

Client Care Coordinator

“For starters, as a new practice owner, it gave me the option to create a professional website and access to professional learning about the software and amazing tools that they are adding to help me streamline my practice even more.”

Teresa L.

Clinician

“I can properly schedule clients who are every other week and weekly and be able to add in one-time sessions in between and minimize the problem of double booking myself.”

Jennifer N.

Psychologist

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

“It was free at first, and then transitioned to a paid model.”

Jeffrey F.

Owner

“Someday it might be a good software platform when it is fully developed. But as of today non of the actual financial numbers from provider production to billing can be trusted.”

Zachary P.

President

Cons

“It's a little hard to set up adult family therapy, and I wish the telehealth option allowed a single link that could be reused for each session.”

Alan J.

Chief Psychologist

“We had many issues with reports processing correctly, were losing information, and there were inefficiencies in the way that claims and payments processed and posted.”

Erica M.

Client Care Coordinator

“I don’t like how glitchy telehealth is, that there is not a lot of customization on the calendar screen and it can be readily confusing to someone who is trying to use the system besides just scheduling.”

Coty D.

Owner

Cons

“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

“Even when a patient is clearly on the schedule, reports often require extra, non-obvious steps to capture data correctly, making routine KPI tracking inefficient and error-prone.”

Charbel H.

Chiro

“Several major disappointments, but most recently Dr Chrono implemented a new policy that the EMR will not allow any staff, not even licensed staff, RN, LPN, etc, to send in a non-controlled prescription. ”
