Chose Bird
I use 24sessions predominantly as I have large discount with it and it works for scheduling clients. The user interface is helpful for past meetings.
24sessions is click and go - no account or software is needed for the client.
Twilio prices were much higher for our initial volume (30k SMS/month). But they have more APIs and more services if you need to integrate email, SMS, and other channels. We didn't need those features, only basic SMS and email, so we kept each feature from one provider. Email …
Regarding WhatsApp Business, it is a very useful tool because templates can be programmed for the entire organization and clients can also be referred to other users in order to decongest an agent who can become quite busy. Otherwise there would be no way to serve you through …
I have experience with other general EHR systems, such as Practice Fusion, Allscripts, and Epic, though ChiroTouch is unparalleled in its specificity to chiropractic medicine, and for that reason, I would recommend this system over the aforementioned ones to chiropractic …
We had been using medisoft before and it wasn't organized enough or clear enough for insurance billing, coding and doctors notes. Chirotouch solved all of these problems with the additional bonus of being customizable
I have used ChiroTouch at three different companies. One was transitioning from Chiro8000 which is extremely out-dated and does not have nearly the capabilities of ChiroTouch. Another company was transitioning from old school paper charts and just a calendar program for …
24sessions is perfect for appointments such as coaching (my use case) where you want them to be able to go into your booking calendar, choose a time and schedule the appointment - or to schedule it from your end. They they get an email on creation and reminder email. I find it not helpful or at least, not at all intuitive, for setting up a host created meeting immediately. You can create it so you can be live at anytime, but host created isn't as any to set up
I found the software to be well-suited for our small chiropractic office, though I imagine it would work well for a larger practice, as well. I would not recommend switching to this system unless staff can add several weeks to their schedules to learn the system and get accustomed to the interface. I also wouldn't recommend this system to practices on a tight budget, as the most helpful features are only available at an extra charge.
With the intense instruction from ChiroTouch team and easy contact with customer service, I would say that ChiroTouch is the easiest software we have ever used in this office. I can not speak highly enough about the customer service and training staff at ChiroTouch.
Sometimes we get weird error messages. We have been having a problem with our check-in computer and ChiroTouch hasn't been able to figure out the problem
Generally we never have problems with speed. If we have, it's been because we needed to perform software updates, and then it went back to working quickly.
Their IT support is actually not bad. The few times we've had technical issues, they've been able to solve it without a whole lot of hassle, and the techs seem knowledgeable. However, as for using the system they are not knowledgable at all. I usually get the impression when I ask a question they are basically just looking it up in a manual. On SEVERAL occasions I have asked a question and was told the system could not do what I was asking, only to later find the exact functionality myself, or to find an adequate work-around. It's clear they don't work with the software in any real-world way, and thus can't answer anything outside of the basics. I would rather spend a significant amount of my own time trying to figure something out than deal with their support personnel (though they do tend to be polite).
The particular person we were assigned was not very well versed in the software. Several things we asked about we were told we not possible, and then I later figure out how to do them by myself after getting to know the software. I guess that is what comes from trainers who use the system in theory but not in an actual office. They are basically reading off a script that guides you how to set things up, nothing more. If she didn't know the answer, she didn't research it, she just told us it wasn't possible. However, it was a multi-session training spread out over a couple weeks and they did walk you through all the basics. It does take a lot of customization, so this was appreciated. It would have been very intimidating to do without guided support sessions.
Regarding WhatsApp Business, it is a very useful tool because templates can be programmed for the entire organization and clients can also be referred to other users in order to decongest an agent who can become quite busy. Otherwise there would be no way to serve you through two agents and you could have a bad end user or customer experience.
I have used ChiroTouch at three different companies. One was transitioning from Chiro8000 which is extremely out-dated and does not have nearly the capabilities of ChiroTouch. Another company was transitioning from old school paper charts and just a calendar program for scheduling. The third was transitioning from OfficeAlly, which is fairly rudimentary but super inexpensive (I think $30 a month) and actually has some functionality that ChiroTouch does not have! I was only part of the decision making process for purchasing ChiroTouch at one of these companies, and at the time I believe I looked at every software out there. We went to the Parker seminar in Las Vegas and looked at several of them at the trade show and did other demos for companies that were not there from home. The other software company we greatly considered was Eclipse. Unfortunately this was several years ago and I don't recall the exact pros and cons. What I realize now I should have pushed for was a trial version of the software before purchase. I asked and they said no. Now after having done other software integrations in other industries, I realize this is a big red flag. If a company won't let you take the software for a test drive, you know something is not right. The demo with ChiroTouch seemed very polished, but when we got the product it was anything but. It is still a decent system and has helped tremendously in all 3 offices I have used it. However, I think there is just not a whole lot of stellar competition out there, so they don't put much time and money into their system moving with the times. Sad to say, when I looked into systems 4 years ago or so, there wasn't anything all that great out there. I hope it has changed.
It's reliable, though occasionally has connectivity issues. Their support says it's our computing issue, not the software, but we don't have similar problems with other software. Definitely needs to be backed up daily. We use ChiroTouch's backup and it works well
