SPRY
4.6
(9)
"Spry has been a great fit for us."
"If you haven't tried SPRY I would recommend you give it a try."
"You might want to try SPRY PT."
"They're good. we started 6 months back, been savin us a lot of money. i'd recommend them."
"Good experience. We've been using them for more than a year now. our rejection rate is close to 0% I guess."
"Switched to Spry recently and so far, so good—things are running smoother."
"I’m switching soon, trying to decide between Spry and WebPT."
"Great option for individual practices."
"Been working on SPRY for a while now"
#2
Jane
4.9
(8)
"Jane App was amazingly fast with their response time."
"You can get a code to try Jane free for 30 days"
"JANE."
"Jane is worth the $$ as it handles everything."
"I know a couple solo PTs that are very happy with Jane."
"Jane - by far."
"100% Jane for cash."
"It’s cash focused as well and good price with payment based on FTEs. Does pretty much everything except fax but that is in the works."
#3
Epic
4.8
(6)
"Yes, EPIC (preferred) and Cerner are both great options for very large private practices or hospitals."
"Breeze"
"We use epic for EKGs"
"Best EMR to be able to transfer I have found is EPIC."
"EPIC is the best, from a coding standpoint."
"I’ve used several but really prefer EPIC. It’s hugely expensive for a smaller company though."
#4
Athena
3.7
(7)
"It’s awesome!"
"It’s super patient friendly!"
"I think Athena’s build out is better."
"I’m a huge fan, but it really comes down to specialty. Fantastic for some - lacking for others."
"Old practice used Athena, I liked it."
"We use athena. There is a lot of functionality and they are making improvements."
"Avoid Athena. they make $ as % of your billing."
#5
DocVilla
5.0
(5)
"I am using DocVilla too. Have to say, customer service is top-notch."
"DocVilla EHR is slick, fast and easy to use!"
"DocVilla in our practice and it’s the best EHR among all of the mentioned above including tebra, advancedmd, athena, etc."
"Can't ask for more. its so good. perfect balance between ease of use, intuitive, and full functionality. great support also."
"I switched to DocVilla EHR couple of years ago and have been super happy with them!"
#6
Lamy
4.2
(6)
"It's the only retractable ceramic nib I am aware of, it is comfortable to hold and to write with, has a built-in ballpoint pen for those times when you have to kill a tree or sign a receipt."
"The Lamy Al Star EMR has perfect ergonomics and an eraser button, making it my favorite pen."
"Go with any of the ones with the ceramic nibs, those are amazing."
"I have yet to hear a bad review about it, other than fitting it into the folio."
"The Lamy has a nice slight scrape to the nib material."
"Lamy: overrated."
#7
SimplePractice
4.0
(6)
"I use simple practice with e-prescribe. I rarely use it for billing because majority of my clients are workers comp and it’s easy to bill the state directly. I love the EHR and the way that telehealth is built in."
"I use Simple Practice and MDToolbox. I don’t use the billing though. I have a billing person who does it all for me."
"Simple practice has a pretty good grip on the provider world right now."
"I use simple practice and it has all of that and it’s easy to use."
"I don’t love that I lost out on a couple of things when they recently switched their pricing structure."
"It is one of the simplest options (though I miss Luminello). It is a bit too geared toward non medical folks, but here’s hoping that improves."
#8
eClinicalWorks
3.5
(6)
"Eclinical works for outpatient medicine its the best."
"Ecw eclinicalWorks is a great medical software."
"I miss eclinicalworks, at least it’s user friendly and simple."
"Quite honestly pick the cheapest option that doesn’t have insane revenue share requirements."
"You are spot on with ecw. Coming from epic I couldn’t believe it."
"Mixed outcomes reported, with some finding it easy to use while others faced issues."
#9
Cerner
4.0
(4)
"EKGs were sent wirelessly to the EHR and were viewable pretty instantly."
"Cerner has the ability to manually upload documents immediately."
"Our center has cerner"
"Cerner still sucks though."
#10
Kaweco
4.7
(3)
"You can buy just the refill and slot it into any of their AL sport rollerball and fountain pen cases."
"It's perfect - it looks, feels and is weighted just like their regular pens."
"It has good weight. A bit pricey as for me though."
#11
Wacom
4.3
(3)
"Yes, in my experience the wacom one pen has better pressure sensitivity compared to the original s-pen."
"Get the "wacom one pen" if you want an affordable alternative."
"The Montblanc e-Starwalker was really nice (aside from the awkward button placement) but it is very hard to find these days."
#12
Practice Fusion
4.0
(3)

#15
Freed
3.3
(3)
