User Testimonials
	Sideline	Text Request
Likelihood to Recommend	Pinger, Inc. No answers on this topic	Text Request Text Request is appropriate for all kinds of scenarios! I really have NOT found a situation where Text Request was not suitable to use to try and reach a patient. We have used TR to contact a patient that we have received a referral from their Primary Doctor and we need to schedule an evaluation, we have used TR for insurance and Billing, we have used TR for contacting patients that missed a visit and to reschedule.

Pros	Pinger, Inc. No answers on this topic	Text Request text clients quickly and efficiently Allow all team members to communicate with all clients and keep the conversation going Templates to easily send regular texts Customer service is better than excellent!

Cons	Pinger, Inc. No answers on this topic	Text Request I think so far the only improvement I could suggest would be to be able to "un-send" a text within like 30 secs in case you send something out incorrectly. Maybe adding more emojis When sending a file make the size of the pic they see bigger Incentivized S Marie Patient Care Coordinator Read full review
Usability	Pinger, Inc. No answers on this topic	Text Request Text Request is very user friendly. I started using the Text Request platform on Day 1 without any specific instructions and I was able to figure it out very easily! Verified User Read full review

Alternatives Considered	Pinger, Inc. No answers on this topic	Text Request I use Hatch for my service businesses because they integrate with our CRM tool and Text Request does not. I am NOT a fan - their support is not even half as good as TR but they fill a need that our company has. I like the technology, customer service and ease of use that Text Request gives to us - I just want them to integrate with my CRM! If so, I'd leave Hatch in a heartbeat!

Return on Investment	Pinger, Inc. No answers on this topic	Text Request That is not something we see from an office standpoint. This is something that our Headquarters would keep track of. What I can say is that the amount of patients being scheduled after implementing TR has been in an upward trend. Also patients that missed their appointments are more likely to reschedule when being able to do so with just a text message Incentivized S Marie Patient Care Coordinator Read full review
