Office Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "User Friendly Software" June 7, 2017 4.0 Easy to learn for someone who is new to general dentistry. I was able to quickly start using after working with only orthodontic software for 10 years. Pros The online tutorials and customer service so far have been excellent for learning this new software in our practice. Cons There isn't a lot of room for customization in the different letters. It can be tricky when the form letter isn't exactly what you need. Review Source MK Mykola K. DMD Medical Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Don't waste money" March 18, 2020 2.0 Pros Not bad for small office if you do not plan to grow Cons be careful,they change the price without warning and then deceive that they talked about it! Review Source JR Justin R. CEO Medical Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Converting this week" June 14, 2016 5.0 Pros Free demo conversion to let you experience the product side by side with your existing software. It runs on Linux so the performance is better and can be tweaked. Support is really helpful. The cost is really low and does not include charges for additional plugins or devices. It is all inclusive. Support drops to really low monthly after 12 months (you can even stop paying after 6 months if you feel like you do not need support any more). This is Open Source software, so all the benefits that come with open source are included. Cons No way to put the server in the cloud because the data is sent unencrypted. This is fine on a local network, but makes it impossible to host the server in the cloud (like Amazon).

If you ever do have an issue, you can always escalate to management as needed. I appreciate your kind review. Nathan Sparks CEO Open Dental DM David M. Used the software for: ### "Open Dental solves the problem that was Dentrix" September 12, 2016 5.0 I just finished a recent transition from Dentrix. Everything is easier and more straight forward. Thank you OD Pros I can customize anything I want. Even the Hygienists love it. Cons They seem to be growing very fast. On 2 issues where I was cleaning up a mess made by Dentrix, their customer support gave me inaccurate advise. Both times on a future call I would get a straight answer from another rep. They need to learn when they do not know the answer, and just say so! Review Source DFG Dr. Fady G.

Pros User friendly , great price , easy to use , full integration with other software Cons May be they should free initial training in house Review Source lW lisa W. RDH Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Open Dental" April 5, 2019 5.0 It would be great to have a mandated educational technician come to the office prior to launching for the dental staff to truly understand the software. It is uncomfortable to be learning it in front of the patient. Pros There is some versatility to this software that Eaglesoft and others don't have Cons There is a learning curve, especially when you are used to Eaglesoft or Dentrix. Review Source JV Janis V.

December 16, 2016 3.0 This software is not easy to use or user-friendly, it's a little frustrating if you have to switch screens and remember info from other areas, X-rays are not transferable. Pros Software needs updating in X-ray and treatment planing. Cons It keeps family groups together for insurance proposes. Review Source MH Majida H.
