Mobile experience shortcomings

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.

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 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.  

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.

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.

Licensed Massage Therapy

When scheduling on my phone if the app is left open I have to reset my phone which can be a bit inconvenient. But, its not a huge time delay to do that.

Alternative Health Practioner

The convenience of having an app to quickly access scheduling, client info, confirming/changing bookings.

ClinicSense is very helpful overall, but one scheduling drawback stands out. When clients go to book, they often default to a 60-minute massage. If a 60-minute slot doesn’t fit, the system shows me as unavailable — even though I might have room for a 30- or 45-minute session.

For example, rather than use the excellent electronic note keeping system for client records, (soap notes,) I prefer to make a printout of a client file and write notes with a pen.

Owner Operator

Clients report that they love the ease of booking appointments online, and the ability to fill out paperwork pre appointment.

Physical Therapist

ClinicSense has excellent Customer Support, available both through the website with FAQs, as well as when reaching out in email.

Owner and Operator

I am a sole practitioner, and ClinicSense is a great value for complete scheduling and appointment management and payment processing.

Owner and Registered Massage Therapist

Currently, clients cannot easily log in to view or reschedule upcoming appointments on their own.

Sometimes I would accidently hit the back button on my phone instead of the apps back and I would have to exit the whole app to get back to what I was doing.

owner

Alos would like clients to be scheduled out reoccurring and otherwise more than a year as they need to be updated and that is very time consuming.  

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.

Sometimes ClinicSense make changes to things (i.e. revenue reports) that creates more work me, not less.

They have great customer support and easy to navigate UX, I appreciate their price point and overall design and information, including end of year reports.

Also, theybgot rid of being able to attach or send videos or documents in an email.

I have used other booking sites and some didn't have the option to do the notes online for clients.

There is not a lot of flexibility in making changes to the look of the home page.  

Second, writing SOAP notes on mobile can be a bit difficult. While notes can be entered through the website, it’s not very smooth on a phone.

Massage therapist

Clinic sense is well worth the money, everything I need is all in one place, their customer service is incredible and they are continuously improving their system according to what we need.

Prior to using ClinicSense, my schedule was a mess and my treatment notes were disorganized.

Boss massage therapist

Again ClinicSense saved/saves me time by the setup being with ease and not having to build forms completely from the ground up.

Owner, Registered Massage Therapist

I'm able to optimize my time with online booking, and manage my billing and bookkeeping all in one place.

Help Desk Manager

Enhanced Client Experience: Convenient scheduling, secure access to records, and improved communication can all lead to a more positive client experience.

I think its value for money is one of the better options out there when looking for a reliable booking and charting system.

I love that ClinicSense allows me to run my personal (only me) massage therapy business.

My ‘want’ and a couple of my client’s ‘wants’ is the abitliy to have access to a profile for themselves.

Board Certified and LIcensed Massage Therapist

They respond promptly and are always helpful, and they have invaluable video tutorials and resources for their customers.

SUPER easy to integrate with Stripe for taking payments (square is what they advertise, however I had a lot of issues using square and needed to switch to stripe), great real-time scheduling capabilities, and everything I could ask for as far as marketing options/communications and SOAP notes/charting

Counsellor Psychotherapist

As I stated above, I'm quite satisfied with CS especially for their customer service and easiness and straightforwardness in using the system.

With clinicsense, I send the client a link per their request to schedule an appointment and they schedule their appointments at their convenience.

Practice Manager, Licensed Massage Therapist

I also would like to be able to send texts to clients other than the automatic reminders (such as for rescheduling).

What I like least is that there is no section where I can make notes, reminders, waitlist etc…

We would call them less if the text messages showed received in or log somewhere.
