Great

Highly recommend.

PROS

HIPAA compliant. Easy to communicate with others.

CONS

I found the features not available on the lower tier were a bit hidden and to get all the features I wanted added up in cost. Patients CANNOT text you in a HIPAA compliant manner unless they have the app.

Reason for choosing Spruce

Easy of use.

Very Helpful Customer Service and Great App

We are able to receives calls and texts.

PROS

The app is easy to navigate, the customer service is prompt and friendly, and clients have been able to reach me thus far.

CONS

I wish porting a number didn't take so long. We have had a lot of interruptions during our wait.

Reason for choosing Spruce

The customer service, the app is easy to use and the ability to connect with clients.

Reasons for switching to Spruce

We were using Google Voice and they don't offer customer service. My phone stopped receiving messages for some reason, and after months of trying to figure it out we could not.

No support at all, just a robot.

I wanted to keep the service, but not with my main company numbers since we were not able to see caller's ID, so I want to port out the numbers I brought, they are ready to be ported out to a better service, but there is no human that can help with that, so my company numbers are stuck with the robot.

PROS

It was easy to start using it. It looks nice. The faxes were being sent and had feedback about it.

CONS

You have to have a cellphone to use the phone feature, there is no softphone for laptop/desktop for direct calls, you have to dial through an intermediary number. It doesn't show the caller's ID, it shows your own spruce number as the caller. The support is horrible, is only a robot that never gives the appropriate support. I think I got to chat with a human when I was inquiring about the service, and it took time, I had to deal with the robot first.

Reason for choosing Spruce

It seemed to be one of the preferred by Health Services Providers, but, it is a nightmare to find a real human to chat.

Reasons for switching to Spruce

Faxing at RingRX was not working properly, the calls got dropped after a few minutes.

Easy to use, very reliable, missing a couple of key functions

PROS

Video calling is so simple to set up, and secure messaging is super-easy and helps keep client messages secure. Since last June, Spruce has dropped a call only once. Sometimes it freezes but never for more than 3 or 4 seconds, and that's rare. Sometimes the client's image gets pixelated and looks weird, but that's usually only for a second or so. The image is generally clearer and less grainy than on other video platforms I've used. Faxing works great.

CONS

-I would like to be able to share files with a client during an appointment. It's frustrating not to be able to. -The phone feature is too confusing for me to figure out, so I don't use it. - I cannot send audio files to clients. - It is not well set up for writing clinical notes about patients.

Reason for choosing Spruce

Better functionality, cost much lower.

Reasons for switching to Spruce

Cost and functionality.

Best messaging system out there

PROS

I love how easy it is to communicate with clients and team members. It is easy to see when a new call/text has come through and assign it to a specific team member. I can also keep track of what tasks have been completed and what needs to be followed up on.

CONS

The only compliant I have is not having a hard copy of the faxes sent to upload to a client's chart as proof of receipt.

Review

PROS

The process can be easy, if it is explained well to you. Once you are able to get ahold of Support, they generally are quite helpful and friendly. Adding alternative phone numbers for call forwarding is very helpful and easy.

CONS

It is so VERY difficult to get someone on the phone. You have to send a message, then wait and wait and wait, then you have to schedule an appointment, and if the person that sent you a link to their calendar doesn't have anything for 2 weeks, good luck trying to get someone else who can help. I absolutely HATE that it is so difficult. It also seems to take a long time to get issues resolved, most of the time because the support doesn't read the message correctly. Also, it would be awesome if we could know who we were talking to instead of just "Support".

Amazing, Easy to Use, Incredible Customer Support

Exceptional! Very dedicated to their customer base, easy to do business with, and very responsive.

PROS

Spruce was very easy to convert from Google Voice to help ensure all of my transactions are HIPPA compliant. Their documentation is top notch, their customer support is fantastic, quick, and efficient. Highly recommend them.

CONS

Some of the features are different between the web portal and the app (namely listing of phone numbers/fax lines). Slightly annoying, but manageable.

Reasons for switching to Spruce

To ensure HIPPA compliance.

A must-have tool built for healthcare teams

Spruce has been the best bug-free, HIPPA-compliant phone system I've tried.

PROS

For team collaboration in the healthcare industry, Spruce is exceptional. I love that the software allows me to place calls, send texts, track incoming calls, and message my team members all in one place.

CONS

These is definitely a learning curve with Spruce, as it works quite a bit differently than other phone services. I was also disappointed to learn that you need to pay almost twice as much for Spruce to function like a private phone number for each person on your team.

Reason for choosing Spruce

Spruce offers better customer service and team messaging.

Reasons for switching to Spruce

The Phone.com app was far too buggy.

Overall Satisfied With Program

Overall, it has completed its intended tasks. I did come to Spruce from different software that had better search features integrated.

PROS

This is a great software for communicating with patients/doctors. I am a user (patient) who uses Spruce to reach out my Primary Health Care practice. It works as intended.

CONS

Sometimes, the notifications do not come through as a push notification on my device. I have had a couple instances where I had new messages and I had to open the app to find out. I wish there was an easy way to search the messages and files received.

Terrible Customer Service

I do not like this program at all but feel stuck with them.

PROS

Spruce has been a a disappointment. The created an update that was not user friendly. My staff and I have reached out to support many times, We get the wrong info and then when trying to address issues, we are asked the same info over and over or told incorrect information on set. We have requested a person and a conversation and this was denied with repeated silly auto replies stating how much more effective communication is by text. It is truly a nightmare to work with them and been a horrible experience of late. I do not recommend this service unless that can make some major changes.

CONS

Almost everything but notably the customer support. Lots of glitches, does not transfer to oncall or vacation messages easily. Not user friendly.

Reason for choosing Spruce

Did not have options. Freedom healthworks recommended them but most of what they recommended was sub par.

Great features, terrible customer support

Overall the features and ease of regular use are what has kept me as a customer for as long as we have been, but at this point, I am actively looking for another provider because good customer support is vital. When there's a problem, we need a timely and responsive reply and solution.

PROS

The HIPAA-compliant messaging and ability to easily transfer messages and voicemails into our EHR charts is fantastic.

CONS

The customer support is minimal to non-existent if you have a problem. I have asked multiple times for a better phone tree for our team, especially when we need to make changes to outgoing messages when staff are out for vacation, holidays, etc, and we are still having the same issues.

Spruce Update is a Disaster

It was adequate until it became completely inadequate and frankly is just costing us clients, money, and time right now.

PROS

I used to like Spruce health. It wasn't perfect, but it was intuitive and we could work around issues like being unable to text multiple clients (as in a couple) at the same time or having multiple clinicians who needed to be able to see the same thread. But their recent update has made the app utterly unuseable and their customer support is non-existent. I would recommend that any practice considering Spruce run the other way.

CONS

Customer support. Recent update makes it un-useable.
