AMS Software
It offers a very helpful and surcure platform and can be easy to use once you get use to the platform.

Kareo is not an appropriate application for any real-world clinical need. It is highly unreliable, crashing frequently, and often becomes frozen. It also cannot ingest data from Therapy Notes, which was a promised feature of the platform according to the sales team. Additionally, when we ran into reliability issues (every day, with every clinician at the practice, across a dozen different office locations with different internet service providers) we were not offered the ability to cancel our contract. Until the reliability issues are fixed Kareo is not well-suited to any use case because it does not work.

Kareo was a massive waste of money. It's an unreliable product without promised features and sold by a disingenuous sales team. We will stick to reliable services like Doxy, Therapy Notes, etc.

I selected Kareo EHR because it was a lot simpler to use and the customer service was definitely better. Every representative I have spoken to has been super friendly and helpful.

  • Can be confusing for a person first time on the platform
  • getting use to the tools

  • We have negative reviews as we were sold a product that left out some key variables. Things we really needed to make the transition.
  • I don't think KAREO is good for small business (0-10 employees) because their prices for additional or standard features is steep. They charge by the therapist to boot and it is steep!
  • Again ASK questions; do a test run; ask about the migration of your data and its charges.
  • You sign with them you will be locked into a 12 month contract with no out clause. If they are costing you the money you have to stay with them.
