### "Stress-free implementation of veterinary online booking"

April 18, 2018

5.0

Ease of booking for clients, therefore more bookings. More efficient use of employees' time.

Pros

Clients love the ability to book appointments at their own pace. Receptionists love that they have more time to devote to clients on non-booking phonecalls. I love it because my staff are more available when I need them. Once set up, the system works quietly in the background. Online bookings are flagged on the scheduler, making it easy to see which appointments were booked online - these are then triaged, to ensure that they are seeing the most appropriate vet at the most appropriate time.

Cons

Clients are able to book at times that leave unuseable gaps ie first free slot at 4.30pm, but client chooses 4.40pm - leaving 10 minutes wasted.

### "Paw- Mazing Product!"

October 20, 2023

5.0

Great! Training was a breeze and the product is straight forward.

Pros

I love that clients can schedule when they have time to do so.

Cons

I wish client information would apply into the system - not just an email for staff to input.

Reason for choosing Vetstoria

Vetstoria has a great reputation - We also switched to PetDesk and Whiskercloud.

### "If you use Avimark, this isn't the online booking tool you want."

June 24, 2020

3.0

I have never had a stellar experience. This company is based overseas, so calling for help is impossible. They did recently open a stateside helpdesk, but you still can't call it and are obliged to send in an email and then wait for a response. There is not enough done to keep clients from scheduling incorrectly. Vetstoria relies on people at the clinic to keep an eye on the mail all day in order to make sure appointments are appropriately scheduled. If they aren't, we are supposed to call and redo the appointment. Firstly, we don't have time to sit watching email. Secondly, if we DO catch an inappropriate appointment, more often than not, the client is angry that we have to change the appointment. I don't feel it's worth the money.

Pros

It enables clients to make their own appointments online at their convenience.

Cons

It is difficult to configure the software to keep clients from scheduling the wrong kind of appointments for their needs. Does not read monthly blockoffs from Avimark, only on-the-fly blockoffs, so if you like to use monthly blockoffs in order to streamline your scheduling and keep just anyone from changing the blocks, Vetstoria will allow clients to schedule appointments over times that are blocked for surgery or blocked because the doctor is out of the office. To remedy this, one must then spend hours re-blocking the times already blocked.

Reason for choosing Vetstoria

The choice was made for me by my company. I am stuck with it.

November 30, 2021

4.0

Very happy with this product overall

Pros

It is easy to learn and incorporate into our scheduling process. The widget for the website, helps us guide clients to this feature. It is very user friendly, for clients and staff.

Cons

I wish the new client form was customizable. The analytics could be stronger.

Reason for choosing Vetstoria

There were no alternative options

### "Well worth it"

July 20, 2021

4.0

Good. Vetstoria is a great product and well worth it. It is fairly new to us so we are working out a kink here and there. Nothing that wasn't expected.

Pros

Vetstoria saves my front staff time now that customers can schedule their own.

Cons

The AI is much to strict on matching clients input to existing clients. So pretty much all entries come in as unmatched even though they are current clients. Something as small as a period (.) after Mrs-will make it not match.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing Vetstoria

Set-up process with Vetstoria is night and day compared to Next-in-line. Vetstoria is very well organized and fast.

### "\[sensitive content hidden\] the Superstar!"

October 29, 2024

5.0

\[sensitive content hidden\] was professional, patient, and extremely helpful in making our diaries and booking system exactly what we wanted. The whole experience was wonderful; honestly, before the meeting, I dreaded having to set all the diaries up myself which \[sensitive content hidden\] did on my behalf. 5\* experience from \[sensitive content hidden\] and Vetstoria.

Pros

I love that \[sensitive content hidden\] did a video call with me to ensure our diaries were completely compliant with what we wanted. It made an otherwise stressful idea/job very streamlined. It took the pressure off greatly and I feel confident that our diaries are working perfectly.

Cons

There is nothing I particularly dislike about Vetstoria

December 19, 2023

5.0

Pros

It integrates well to our PMS (DaySmartvet, previously Vetter Software) and the online payments are a huge help for us, saving us time and eliminating our no-shows for our first-contact appointments.

Cons

The logic of “excluding” times where we don’t want appointments instead of just selecting the times when we are ready for online bookings.

### "Great scheduling platform!"

December 6, 2021

5.0

Vetstoria has helped with the amount of phone calls that we receive and has reduced the time that a receptionist needs to spend on that phone call with a client to book that appointment.

Pros

The ease of using the live scheduling system is so nice. Our clients can put in the day or time that works best for them to help filter out other appts. It's also very easy for us to get those appts scheduled by seeing the emails that are coming in. My favorite part is having available for clients to schedule while we are closed so we don't have a million phones when we open in the morning. I haven't had to call/email the tech support team a lot but when I do they are extremely fast getting back to me.

Cons

I haven't seen any cons as of right now for what we use Vetstoria for.

Positive experience overall. Increase in new clients intakes as they can make bookings for the next morning overnight.

Pros

Our phone calls to book appointments are definitely reduced and clients love the convenience of easily booking out of business hours.

customer service has always been really helpful and understanding how important being able to book online is to our clinic.

Pros

when trying to reduce phone calls for making appointments, Vetstoria has really helped drive online bookings and this has reduced our time on the phone, leaving available reception to look after sick and emergency phone calls.

Cons

its quote hard to set up all the different customs but customer service is super helpful and are able to set everything up they way that works for your individual clinic.

### "Vetstoria has been an excellent addition to our practice's suite of customer service tools."

October 9, 2017

5.0

Pros

Our clients often comment on how easy it was for them to make an appointment. A lot of the web-based appointments are made outside of the hospital's opening hours so it effectively allows our client access to us 24/7. The ability for clients to choose their veterinarian is great. In addition the fact we can select what species each vet is comfortable seeing is a bonus. Once the system is set up it just operates in the background and needs little to no maintenance other than adding new veterinarians, public holidays etc. Vetstoria has worked seamlessly with our RxWorks system. It was also very easy to add to our practice website and Facebook pages.

Cons

The set up took a little bit of work as we had to change a few things on our RxWorks practice management. None of this was too difficult and has actually improved our efficiency in a few other areas! It would be nice for clients to be able to indicate that they are happy to see any veterinarian even though they need to select a particular one at the time of booking. Our reception staff have to ask when the client arrives.

Pros

Vetstoria makes it easy for clients to book appointments online and significantly reduces the amount of calls our reception team take in this busy industry/time.

Cons

### "Easy for the non tech savvy"

December 15, 2021

5.0

Vetstoria is beneficial to our business. The demand for booking online is ever increasing and lessens the large volume of incoming calls, allowing our front of staff to have more time engaging with clients in the practice.

Pros

The software, in particular the self service portal is easy to use, even for the non tech savvy user. Modifying the settings to correlate with our changing schedules in the veterinary practice is quick and not time consuming. You can easily customise the software and be incredibly detailed or start by using a basic format and tweaking as required.

Cons

In regards to appointment scheduling, at times it does not pick up length of appointment required, however this is more to do with the client booking the appointment.
