Great Customer Support

I am new to the dental office work place and I initially found the Maxident software to be overwhelming and cumbersome. I have spent many hours learning the ins and outs of it, and now find it to be a very all encompassing and hard working and stable program. The thing that puts this software at the top of my list is the excellent customer support. After using Maxident for about 6 months I requested some program modifications and the company is working on implementing them and keeping me updated on their progress along the way. Our customer service specialist and I feel he really listens to what I am saying and really tries to fix any issues I have with the software. He goes above and beyond in his quest for customer service excellence and is a huge asset to this company. Keep up the good work!!

Pros

great data base - holds tons of information on each patient. good recall system, integrates well with insurance companies. great customer support

Cons

it is a bit overwhelming to learn, help files are confusing. not flexible for individual needs (but company will try to accommodate special requests). very large and all encompassing - maybe too much for our specific needs.

good customer service

Truthfully until we are able in BC to bill electronically in all insurance I don't feel the cost is worth the benefit. If I had remained on a paper chart I would be debt free. It is one of the I've made that I view as a financial mistake It's really agrevating dealing with updates and extra costs. I tell starts ups BC to seriously consider $ before making the plung. I know hygienists that are debt free and profitable with paper charts that are very professional and progressive.I can chart faster in the way I like on a paper chart. I do overall love the product. I bought in too soon.

Pros

I'm very used to it. I like the possibilities with the prescription pad. I like the accessibility of chart notes

Cons

Not on mac. Slow awkward perio chart. Abbreviations on perio chart not what I would choose and they aren't adjustable.

Most used dental software

Pros

Customer service is awesome and they make sure you are helped through out the process.

Cons

It makes difficult sending pre determinations to the insurance. Lengthy procedure and not much user friendly.

Frustrating

My overall experience is not happy at all and disappointed. Whenever I tried to call and explain my problem many times, they were late to reply. The services isn't what I expected. Technicians do not have enough experience. comparing to what they used to have when I got this software. Whenever I tried to call them, they always put me on hold for too long, promising someone would answer you, but they ended up making me to leave a message, and then hung up. I emailed them and they never reply. They most likely do not fixed my problem. So, the problem is always there.

Pros

The ONLY thing I like about this software is that it is easy to use.

Cons

The least thing I like about this software is that it is SLOW to respond.

Tracking

Maxident is very flexible and easy to use. Tech support is great; the techs are eager to help. Having unlimited support is hugely valuable to me.

Pros

The audit trail built into Maxident helps me keep tabs on what the staff are doing. Changes made to information such as appointment bookings are tracked and let me see who made changes and when. This helps with a number of things, but even on a basic level, if there are questions, you know who to ask for details. You always know who did the work.

Cons

The mandatory reports printed when closing the day.
