### "Doxy is an integral part of my business"

September 18, 2025

5.0

i love doxy and have been using it every time i work for the last 5 years! my practice is completely telehealth

Pros

i have been using doxy.me since around 2018, and it has been so helpful. the free version meets my needs, so it feels like its a huge asset to my business. whenever i have needed help, customer support was super quick to respond to me. it is so intuitive, so the learning curve was low, which helped when the pandemic happened, and all of my clients had to move to telehealth.

Cons

i use it daily, and its super helpful. sometimes it giltches, and everytime i start a call there is feedback that takes about 30 seconds to even out.

### "My experience has been all positives"

October 2, 2025

5.0

I have used Doxy since the pandemic (5 years) and cannot understand why medical providers would use something else. I believe that having to have an account and the meeting number nonsense gets in the way of things.

Pros

The ease of use for both myself and clients. I use doxy not only for telehealth appointments but it's what I use exclusively for consultations with potential new clients. I use the tier that has no charge and it's been more than enough for my needs.

Cons

I can't think of anything that I would indicate that I don't like. There's nothing that I've had happen in using doxy that was negative. Back in 2020-2021 there were occasionally connection problems, but I did not attribute that to doxy's service.

Reason for choosing Doxy.me

I had always liked Doxy for the ease of use, especially when directing consultations where to meet. And since AI note assistant is something I use, continuing telehealth on doxy has continued to be very easy

### "Excellent product for solo private practice"

April 20, 2026

5.0

Overall doxy.me has been wonderful to use. They're still my top choice as a telehealth counselor, between the security they provide, their cost, and the sheer quality of their product.

Pros

Doxy.me is an AMAZING product with features that put it at the front of the field. I'm able to create a stable link for patient use, preview my camera/mic/sound, see when patients log in for session, and start session, all from one screen. They've recently implemented options for billing and payments, as well. With various plans doxy.me creates amazing options for the price, and their customer service is responsive and helpful if you encounter any bugs. If you've ever used any other telehealth video platform there's almost no learning curve transitioning to doxy.me.

Cons

It would be helpful if there were an automated email of some sort sent to providers who use doxy when they're down, or expect to be down. I recommend having a stable second option you can quickly send patients as needed. Doxy isn't down often, but when it is, it's usually a surprise.

### "Nice basic system"

October 6, 2025

3.0

Convenient but not like Zoom. Quality is not nearly the same. Is HIPAA Compliant which is essential

Pros

The price and availability. Easy to use. fairly reliable. Easy to report Problems. Responsive to complaints.

Cons

Can be very glitchy with some people and quality varies greatly. Voice is sometimes very very choppy

### "Simplicity and HIPPA compliant"

April 13, 2026

4.0

Ive enjoyed using it but I am unable to use it consistenly (with all clients) because of the tech issues mentioned above. Not worth paying for but the free version is good enough for certain purposes.

Pros

HIPPA compliance. Ease of logging in for clients and provider. Having your own provider URL (no portal creation necessary for clients). Simplicity of the interface.

Cons

High cost to purchase additional features like screen sharing. Often has an echo when clients speak. Poor connections, cutting out, freezing, needing to restart calls to help mitigate that.

HIPPA compliance. Convenience of a personal provider URL to login and not needing client app or portals.

### "7 Yrs a Doxy Doc & it's only gotten Better!!"

June 22, 2025

5.0

I'm a physician licensed in 3 states, and TeleMedicine is a must!! I can get on Doxy as easy on my phone on the road as I can on my laptop. It occasionally loses video if I have minimal service bars, but often audio continues till signal is better to regain video.

Pros

1 - Best FREE option on the market I know of that is secure & dependable. I use it to see pts daily, and have for several years now. They have improved & fixed sooo many - dare I say all? (cuz I haven't seen any this year) of the Covid era glitchs I used to encounter. I now see pts daily - using the FREE version - some pts have trouble figuring out how to navigate the waiting room ...granted mostly technically challenged & have to be literally walked thru it by someone that understands basic phone internet ... but once on, it's a piece of cake.

Cons

I guess I'll have to get the paid version so I can update the waiting room message, as it's several years outdated & I see NO way to update it with the FREE version???

### "Incredibly reliable free resource that has saved me!"

June 28, 2025

5.0

As a solo practitioner, I was looking for something that would not add to my monthly expenses, would be consistently reliable for clients, and would give me a static link. Doxy.me has saved me many times when my \[other\] company-specific EHR video platform would have serious issues in sound sycing. I would inform my clients to meet me at doxy.me. Doxy.me has now become my main video option for clients and it is absolutely free!

Pros

Doxy.me has been fabulously reliable, incredibly userfriendly, and an incredible deal! I love Doxy.me for seeing my mental health clients. I love that my company name is in the static link I can give any clients. The interface is consistently great for video calls.

Cons

NOTHING! I get a free, HIPAA-compliant service to use whenever I need. Okay, honestly, the worst thing I could say is that sometimes clients can hear themselves speak for the first 5 seconds of a video call. It has always gone away quickly.

Reason for choosing Doxy.me

I love the free option! The video capture is not as wide angled as Google Meet -- I don't want the client/patient to see all of my room.

### "Grateful for ease of use"

October 3, 2025

4.0

I was intimidated by the idea of having to do telehealth but Doxy is the best I could have hoped for.

Pros

Having the same four word link each time and being able to get multiple clients on at the same time even if they need to be separate geographically.

Cons

recent difficulty with poor connections if client is on the mobile phone. Telephone calls in to the client disrupt the connection.

### "Doxy.me and Surviving the Pandemic"

December 23, 2025

5.0

The company has been so great to work with. The folks who started out with my organization in the beginning during the pandemic were incredibly caring and attentive. That relationship has continued to this day.

Pros

This product is easy to use and within 2 weeks I was able to learn how to use it myself and create content to educate my entire health center and get us up and attending to patients during the pandemic.

Cons

At first when the camera or microphone didn't work, I had no idea why and had to learn how to troubleshoot things like that, but this is part of all platforms.

### "Very user friendly software; Highly recommend!"

June 26, 2025

5.0

Being not that tech savvy, at first I was apprehensive to try doxy.me; however, I found it to be VERY easy to use and very user friendly. I've been highly satisfied with Doxy.me.

Pros

I've been using doxy.me for a number of years now in my solo private practice. A colleague recommended it to me, and since I don't have as much volume as a group practice, this is a perfect solution as I don't pay anything for it, it is VERY user friendly, and meets HIPAA requirements as well.

Cons

Occasionally there's a little tech difficulties; that is mostly due to connection issues on the part of my client or myself, and usually if we close the session and restart, it gets cleared up.

### "Doxy.me is the only telehealth/teletherapy tool for me!"

September 22, 2024

5.0

Pretty close to perfect. I get great service, very few call issues (which are generally an internet issue and NOT a Doxy issue), and for the price I get a TON of great tools and abilities.

Pros

I love everything about Doxy. The price, the ease of use, the ability to communicate with patients en mass via waiting room announcements, and the ability for my patients to come into the waiting room for links to coping skills and important research documents. I can collect payments right through Doxy via Stripe, collect patient feedback via Dokbot, share information via screen share, and file transfer. Doxy provides analytics and meeting histories, and connects you will tools like therapeutic exercises with reminders, group calls, and electronic teleconsent with signatures.

Cons

Honestly, there's nothing I "like least". I would say the one thing I would consider an improvement would be to add a reminder sound (ding!), which can be set for each call individually (or not at all) by the provider, to remind both patient and provider that it's time to "wrap it up." And while this would be a wonderful addition, I definitely don't consider it a deal breaker.

The main reasons I chose Doxy are the static address, ease of use, and reliability.

I first switched because I became aware that Doxy provides a static address, which allows my patients to bookmark and easily return to Doxy every week. All the other features and bonuses are why I stay.

### "Thank You, Doxy.me"

October 18, 2024

5.0

Overall, Doxy.me is a valuable, efficient, budget-friendly tool to effectively provide virtual service to our consumers and is highly recommended.

Pros

So user-friendly for me and our consumers. Provides excellent value for the investment.

Cons

When using the background feature I can only use the blur, as the other backgrounds do not integrate the background in a way that is not distracting. The feature needs work integrating and blending the facilitator with the background smoothly.

### "Perfect telehealth platform for mental health treatment! "

March 21, 2025

5.0

Perfect. Simple and functional, which is really all I want from any type of software!

Pros

I've been using Doxy.me since the beginning of the pandemic. I love that I can send patients a link by text or email, and they can use it without downloading any type of app. Its seamless, HIPAA compliant, works every time, and free! Seems almost too good to be true! I'm very appreciative, its been a huge asset to my mental health clinic and private practice.

Cons

I use the free version, that doesn't allow me to bring in more than one patient at at time, or share my screen. I'm almost certain the paid version allows it, though. I could always upgrade if I decide its worth it.

February 17, 2025

5.0

I have used it for 6 years, and have no complaints

Pros

It is reliable, which is most valuable. My clients connect easily.

Cons

It would be nice if clients were able not to get our telehealth calls briefly interrupted by their phone calls. when we lose audio/visual for about 15-20 seconds, even when they do not answer the call. This may be a setting for client's on their phone and not doxy.em.

My overall experience has been a positive one.

Pros

The platform is HIPPA compliant and secure, I engage with clients all over the world.

Cons

Sometimes my clients are on rural area with limited connectivity - I have found doxy.me to require a fair amount of bandwidth to function well.

Great, very little issues, occasional disconnect but not sure if it's on the clients end or not.

Pros

Cons

Please add "touch up my appearance" to the video settings. It blurs out a lot of the wrinkles, pock marks, signs of aging, and sun damage! :)

I have been using Doxy.me for 5 years. It has been very easy to use for both myself and customers. I especially trust that doxy.me will stay on top of HIPPA compliance. I started with free service and found the quality of the call excellent. I did upgrade in order to have more services, but also to support keeping the platform available.

Pros

Solid HIPPA Compliance. Easy to use for myself and the consumer.

Cons

Occasionally, I see someone who has trouble accessing doxy.me, but this is rare.

### "Practice and Patient Friendly Telemedicine "

June 25, 2024

5.0

We originally transitioned during COVID when many offices were closed and we needed a telemedicine platform that was easy to use and easy to implement. Doxy.me was both of these things and we have continued to use it even though many of our patients have returned to the office for visits. I would recommend Doxy.me due to ease of use and ease to implement.

Pros

Doxy.me provides an easy to use telemedicine platform for both the practice and the patient to use. Process is as simple as being notified that a patient is in the virtual waiting room and then logging in and initiating the patient visit.

Cons

Cost is a little higher than other platforms but still a good value for the money and for a platform that is so easy to use.
