Patient Communicator has taken a huge load off my shoulders
I don't know how I would have been able to communicate with all my patients during Covid-19 without Patient Communicator.
PROS1) It is packed with useful features (e-mail, text, recalls, scheduling appointments to name a few) 2) The dashboard makes it very easy to use and to access. 3) It has a huge number of beautiful e-mail templates, and they are all customizable. 4) It interfaces with my practice management system (Open Dental) seamlessly 5) Customer support is excellent. 6) Patients can go online and schedule their own appointments without tying up a staff member. 7) Patients love it, especially the computer savvy ones. 8) All messages are stored on their servers, and the program is web-based, so you can access it from anywhere. You don't have to be in your office to retrieve messages. 9) All communication history is saved and easy to access. 10) You can send the same message to multiple patients at the same time. 11) Easy to see unconfirmed appointments at a glance. I could go on, but in summary, I like everything about.
CONSThere aren't any features I don't like. One new feature that might be nice would be integration with voice calls.
Reason for choosing Patient Communicator
Didn't consider any other programs when I first signed up with Patient Communicator 4-½ yrs ago. Didn't have to. It covered everything I needed.

Customer for life
Our online scheduling has made it so much easier for staff to focus on the patients that are in the office, rather than spending a few minutes per patient scheduling over the phone. During covid, the fact that our patients can text us that they've arrived cuts down on unnecessary phone time as well! The automated reminders and eyewear ready notices allow us to function with a much larger patient base than we could handle otherwise. Very grateful to have this technology at our fingertips!
PROSThe customization across all platforms has been wonderful. Whenever we've encountered a "I wish this software could do x," we either find that it's already an option, or the developers make it happen for us!
CONSI do wish that we could text our patients using our office phone number, although that hasn't created any issues for our patients or staff thus far!
Reasons for switching to Patient Communicator
Expense, limitations on online scheduling capabilities.

Easy to Use and A Time Saver
The software is easy to use as I have limited understanding of technology. It also makes confirming patients fast and simple as usually at least half of our patients confirm through this software. We also use this to contact patients that don't respond to phone calls, using this software to text and email them.
CONSThe only problem I have ever had is the limit of characters on a text message, simply typing out the name of our office uses up a large portion of the limit. This makes our text messages sound a bit pointed sometimes as the messages must be short and concise, which you may be able to tell from this review, I am not.

Saves us time we can spend with patients
we never realized how much time is spent calling patients and waiting to leave messages, its great being able to utilize that time for patient care instead.
PROSOur favorite part of the software is the ability to take work load off of our staff and have a robot do it for us!
CONSThe software works great i just wish they could add even further integration with our practice management software so we don't have to use a separate website to reply to patients
Reason for choosing Patient Communicator
Patient communicator offered to let us do a month to month contract and didn't force us to lock into a product for a year when we were unsure about how useful it would be to the office.

CONSOnly one thing that we would like if we could leave messages for patients to take premed before appointments . And Identify our office on calls patients don't like that it comes from a number with no name.
Reason for choosing Patient Communicator
Better communication with the sales staff. And personal approach for patients.

Thrilled with Patient Communicator!
Contact patients easily and quickly. System works great. Absolutely no complaints.
PROSFabulous customer service. Glad that you now have coverage on Fridays and on Jewish holidays. Wish Pt. Communicator had the ability to send out review requests easily.
CONSTemplate emails tend to be tacky. Graphic design sometimes not on target and tends to have misspellings but not really a problem as we do not do much with emails.

User friendly program
I am very happy with all aspects of Patient Communicator and would highly recommend the program.
PROSThe program is easy to navigate and my support rep. is very helpful. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is very patient with me and offers recommendations about options that I may not be aware of.
CONSI can't think of anything that I don't like.

Patient communicator review
It’s nice how customizable the options are. Customer service is always knowledgeable and can solve most problems quickly. The program itself rarely has bugs.
CONSWhile most features are easy enough to use, others seem near impossible without the help of customer service. Things could be more user friendly. It can also be very frustrating when a patient wants to opt out of messages and it can’t be completed within practice director by unchecking the allow sms button.
Vendor Response
Thank you Hannah for your review and for your very valuable feedback. You really hit the nail on the head - our focus has always been to make sure we provide a robust and reliable communications solution and to back it up with the best customer service. Because of feedback like yours, we've recently placed an extra focus on making sure the system is also user friendly. You will soon see the results in our upcoming releases!

Large Optometry Practice
Overall, we appreciate how quickly it updates with our Practice Management System and how quickly customer service responds to our requests.
PROSWe love that his program ties directly to our scheduling system and updates immediately by writing directly to our EHR system.
CONSThe navigation is not real intuitive and the texting functionality seems limited as we are not able to attach photos.
Reasons for switching to Patient Communicator
The most important thing to us was the immediate online schedule blocking and it is probably the only feature keeping us with them at the moment.
Vendor Response
We're happy that you appreciate the customer support and real-time integration that enables almost instant writeback. We're currently working on developing our MMS messaging that will soon enable you to attach images to your messages.

Good but could be improved
When we work directly with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], things are great since he is quick to respond with a way to assist, however the call center and other employees have made it difficult to get a response in a timely manner.
PROSAbility to text patients and send different links for forms
CONSInability to text greater than 140 characters and how the program isn't formatted for us to use on a mobile device to answer patient questions.

Great Texting Software
I love the ability to text patients, and have it documented what we tell them. It has dramatically decrease our no-show rate. Our patients know that they can text into us at any time and we can get back to them.
