Chose Kareo EHR
Kareo EHR is less reliable than Therapy Notes. Therapy Notes is less feature rich, for example, it is not as good for generating PDF bills to send to customers (we had to write our own code for this), but it always works.

Kareo's telehealth platform is less reliable than Doxy. …
Chose Kareo EHR
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.
Chose Kareo EHR
You don't have them in your lineup but TheraNest and CounSol are two awesome EHR software services for small practices and/or startup businesses. If you are a new owner or have 0-10 employees then give them a try. CounSol provides an excellent success coach to get you …
Chose Kareo EHR
I have used QuickEMR and Kareo hands-down is just more appealing and easier to enter all patient information. I did find that QuickEMR for administrative staff is more user-friendly. Kareo provides more patient information and is very good about seeing what is missing in order …
Chose Kareo EHR
Kareo the exact same thing that NextGen does but for the fraction of the cost. NextGen is not the best system for a smaller practice. Kareo supports a large patient base to a small patient base. NextGen is not user-friendly and it not an asset [due to] the money you have to put …

Tebra Technologies, Inc (Kareo + PatientPop)
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.

Return on Investment
Tebra Technologies, Inc (Kareo + PatientPop)
  • 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.
