Pros

“Secondly, I like that there is a feature submission option which allows the people who actually use the platform to have a direct hand in new features that could be put into the system.”

Kyra H.

Practice Manager

“The amount of customization available is helpful, information on patient visits is organized and easily acessed, adding documents is simple and fast”

Wanda F.

Practice Manager

“Also, when a credit card is deleted from WP, it does not trigger missed payments or accrue the missed payments.”

Lena A.

Registered Veterinary Technician

Pros

“We had some confusion when first using the system with processing payments but we quickly worked with the support team and they helped us with a SOP to prevent this problem from happening”

Kelsey O.

RVT

“Our medical team is able to customize templates to their preferances and finds the integration with our medical services and referral partners seamless. ”

Michelle W.

CEO

“The anesthesia charting for accurate monitoring, the whiteboard feature for inhospitality patient care, and the ability to put in orders and have them be math-checked to reduce potential incorrect dosing.”

Ares A.

RVT

Cons

“Our data migration from cornerstone came over in all the wrong categories and miss labeled support staff as doctors among other things.”

Melissa W.

Hospital administrator

“Inactive patients cannot be found with the basic search function, yet deceased pets cannot be hidden from client's active account.”

Nicole G.

Lead Receptionist

“The process of filling or refilling prescriptions takes too long, and each medication has to be processed separately.”

Ashley T.

Lead CSR

Cons

“Also occasionally, the lag time for the "tagged to" symbol to appear on a patient's chart is slow, so multiple coworkers have started to work on the same patient without realizing it.”

Megan M.

ICU and ECC CVT

“The rest of the PIMs is a little more clunky and the medical records sent to other hospitals are cluttered and a bit harder to interpret.”

Jonah W.

Veterinarian

“Toggling back and forth can cause some time delay when toggling between treatments to fill out discharges.”

Amber S.
