Excellent, comfort and speed of technology extends to the doctor's office.

It is difficult to get them to do anything in a timely manner.

I do not have much to say as a pro. The system was promised to have many valued featured however they are all at additional cost.

As a physician, if I treat my clients as badly as this company has treated my company over the years, I would expect to either have no clients or many lawsuits.

There is an odd quirk in the system intended to add versatility that can cause problems if you change your CPTs or add modifiers.

While customer service was never a strong suit (still is not - may be even worse now), it was user-friendly for the most part.

We have been using Emds for 6 years and have regretted the move ever since day 1. They lie to you to get you on board and the hidden costs are ridiculous.

In particular...when e-prescribing stopped working and I reported the error and situation to the tech team...I was told to update our computers.

I've used several Practice Management systems in the last 10 years and E-mds is the one I recommend to inquiring practices because of it's comprehensiveness and ease of use.

We purchased the software but had to wait over a month to get in the training class. While in  Austin, we verbally explained that it was not what we thought it was and too difficult for our staff.

We have finally decided to move away from emds. If you sign on with them, you too will regret it.

The software was easy to learn and easy to use. It also wasn't hard to teach a knew employee how to use it either.

In 2011 when we first purchased the software it was an amazing piece of software that fit the needs of our small clinic.

I don't ever remeber having to ever calling tech support because it was so user friendly.

Flawed,buggy, updates made a once great software unusable. Non-existant support made it unfixable.

Poor implementation, terrible customer support and even worse are hidden fees.

Then I requested a refund, which was denied because it was past the time frame.

Their customer service has to be one of the worst in the industry. You have to submit a ticket and it usually takes 2-3 weeks to get a reply.

Since the eMD's takeover, that part of the system is a complete shit show and I absolutely beg anyone NOT to sign up for this portion of the system.

It's quick and easy and I don't have to talk to anyone on the phone. I  also really like that I can see my own lab test results and that I have access to all my vaccinations.

EMDs is chalked full of errors, moves in a cogwheel fashion. I spend a substantial amount of time staring at me screen waiting for system to respond.

The charting involved a lot of clicking...but ultimately it produced a very high quality note and performed all of the functions a small clinic would hope for from an emr.

Cpt codes stopped loading...old templates no longer worked and were progressively harder to build.

SimplePractice is really easy to use and the user interface is nice. It makes a lot of the monotonous tasks of documenting and billing super easy.

Such a great and simple software with too many tools and features easily to customize and super easy for average user.

Stay away...you will leave once an audit occurs and they refuse to provide you your own records.

I love how easy it is to take care of everything I need to regarding client on boarding.

I like the how its easy to use and navigate. I love that there are helpful videos on every page.

I have liked being able to customize my intake paperwork, evaluations and progress notes. I also really appreciate how easy it has been to learn to use this program.

I love how it is user friendly. I love the built in templates and the ease of being able to create any new electronic forms for clients to review and/or fill out.

My cost s going up over 60. Current customers complained in large numbers and the new company basically ignored them.

My overall experience is wonderful because the software and platform are perfect for therapist.

The software is very user friendly and cost effective. I am able to integrate it with my calendar and I can take online payments easily.

I was using the telehealth feature even before the pandemic and have found it to be excellent. I also appreciate the cutting edge quality improvements.

Very straight forward and user friendly. Loved the telehealth option and the electronic consent.

Best and most important about this software was being able to make my appointments and be able to video chat with my therapist.

And these are options I will never use but will be charged for them monthly.

I think it is something that should be an option. It is too bad that is not an option for people that are more challenged by the program.

I am really happy to have found such a useful tool at such a great price.

So far, very excited, very pleased with your customer service and overall happy that we made the jump from three separate software over to one.

I love that this software seamlessly helps to keep me organized in my private practice through its prompts and reminders.

I love the ease of use including scheduling and billing for clients. I also love how intergrated the system is with credit card processing.

I like how this is HIPPA approved and does not cost the business money to use for strictly video conferencing.

I am just starting a practice and this will be helpful once I can figure out how to fit all the pieces together in a good sequence.

This process can take a few days which is frustrating when many problems can be managed with a quick phone call.

I love how user friendly it is and how it keeps me so organized. Technical support is very helpful and attentive.

I used to advocate for SP as an EHR because they did a wonderful job of making things easy on therapists.

This software encompasses everything I need to run a private practice; from initial forms and scheduling to compliant note keeping and billing the ease of use is outstanding.

Forget about getting your own records, there is no way to downlead client demographics or information.

New plan requires selecting by deadline OR they will hold all your clients information hostage and restrict all access to even their demographic information which is illegal and unethical.

I am excited to see how the the customer service support conversation will go, hopefully it will help me understand how to have intake forms.

I chose this mostly because I am allowed to customize and create templates for progress notes and intake forms. Also love the ease of use and cost.

I am a pediatric occupational therapist and have been very happy with Simple Practice. I would recommend it to anyone.

I appreciate the user interface on the website and app. It's easy to use and pretty intuitive.

Overall this is great and easy to use software for anyone with a small/medium size mental healthcare practice.

I have a data base now that I use who program is awful and childish but they are able to create the reports I need. Its sad this program is missing the one thing i need more than anything.

Making changes and creating templates is very easy and simple to do. Our team really has enjoyed the sync feature of the calendar with our G-suite as well as how easy it is to do billing.

The price structure is terrible. It's way too expensive and the features are remarkably limited in comparison to other platforms out there.

Simple practice makes it easy to manage my day and quickly bill insurance. I love the automatic invoicing features and the ease of use of the client portal.

I strongly recommend Simple Practice to all my former colleagues and other healthcare professionals in the field, who can benefit from this low-cost efficient software.

The prompts for setup were a bit confusing and I'm having trouble getting back to some sections that I worked on previously.

Mostly user-friendly, responsive and helpful customer support, customizable templates, clear video, easy client onboarding and billing, great value for the price.

I loved it so much, and recommended it often. I will no longer because f the profit first changes.

I like that I can easily plug in changes or updates to my schedule at any time and the mobile app is amazing. I also like that you can send automatic reminder emails to clients prior to sessions.

The free trial was a great way to see how the program can work for us and we are so glad that it did it.

I felt simple practice has everything I needed, at the most competitive price. It was also user friendly, and customer support was excellent.

Simple Practice has made it easy to post payments automatically into its accounting portion of the software. It is delightful not to have to go looking for EOBS or post them manually.

I think SimplePractice is very robust and perfect for a newer or established practice. I would highly recommend it.

I like the fact that we no longer have to have paper files, ease of use overall and some of the features like appointment reminders, the ability to create and add your own documents.

The data provided and reporting helps to improve service delivery and marketing efforts. Love the integrated software.

I had problems with claims being denied by one insurance company, and the customer support provided by Simple Practice solved the problem.
