Kelly: I'm Kelly. I'm the owner of Bloom Counseling and Nutrition. We're a group practice of about 13 employees. And I give Receptionists for iPad a five-star rating. Before we had the Receptionist for iPad, we really didn't have any process. We had a waiting room and we would just have to go in and check the waiting room from our office a lot to see if our clients had arrived yet. So the Receptionist for iPad was the first thing that we tried that actually helped us have a system for knowing when our clients arrived. I chose the Receptionist for iPad because the whole system looked really professional. When I looked at the other options out there, it wasn't affordable option compared to hiring a receptionist. We also didn't really have the space for a receptionist desk in our waiting room. It also is a really easy way for us to know when our clients arrive because they just check in on the iPad and it shoots a text to our cell phones, letting us know they're there and ready for their session. So the whole thing is really seamless and easy and is a great solution for us in our space. Getting started wasn't too bad. I think it was pretty user-friendly. We've had it for about two years, so I don't fully remember, but I'm not the most technologically savvy person and I was able to figure out the setup myself and use the online system to load all of our providers into it and get the app on the iPad. And anytime I did run into a hiccup, the customer support was able to help me through it. For anyone considering getting the Receptionist for iPad, I would highly recommend it. I think it's a system that when your clients arrive and their first impression of coming into your space, it is really professional. It is easy for the clients to follow. They know what to do, and it's really efficient in the need that it serves for informing us of who's there. And I really have no complaints. So for anyone considering it, I would encourage it. Especially looking at the alternatives of having a human receptionist in the waiting room, it's just much more affordable. So I think it's a great solution.
