Office manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Curve Review" December 5, 2020 4.0 Overall we are satisfied with the service. Doesn’t appear our suggestions are taken seriously. We would like to have a program that meets all our needs. Thank you. Pros Very user friendly, good price, customer service. Cons This program cannot be be changed using fields and customization; it needs to be designed for an American office, not Canadian, ie DOB and DOS fields; The very worst feature is trying to build a simple report - it is confusing and time consuming Reason for choosing Curve Dental Curve offered ease and a good price Review Source JM Jackie M. Office Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It has good features and frustrating features" June 13, 2017 3.0 it's in the cloud... Pros I like how detailed you can get in the insurance payment plan, I like that I can access it from home. Cons I hate that changes that I asked for over 2 years ago, still haven't been made. we need to be able to apply the deductible to xrays (Not the entire preventative section), I don't like that we can enter if the deductible has been met for the year. thats to name a couple items Review Source Response from Curve Dental June 13, 2017 Thanks, Jackie, for your comments. We are aware of the changes you'd like to see. Our apologies for not meeting your expectations. We have provided our customers with hundreds of other enhancements and new features, but understand completely that you'd like to see this particular change, which is on our list. Hope all is well with you and your practice! TL Tracey L. Office Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Curve Hero is the best, flexible software a practice can have!" June 19, 2017 5.0 It's easy to use. I can log in from anywhere if needed. The team continues to improve and update the software features which keeps us on the cutting edge of dentistry. Pros The flexibility it offers to the providers! Having it be web based, allows providers the ease of logging in anytime and anywhere, no longer being stuck at the office to finish work. Cons It would be nice to have the capability to write a note on the patient statement. There's space to have it. ( Example: your monthly payment is $ ) Review Source Response from Curve Dental August 2, 2017 A 5-star review from you, Tracey, is well earned and much appreciated! As you point out, data accessibility is a huge advantage over older dental software. Being able to work when and where you wish adds to job satisfaction since Curve Dental molds itself around your lifestyle and work style. Thank you for the comment about notes on a patient statement; we're aware of that one and it is certainly on our list of improvements. Hope all is well with you and your practice and hope to see you at the next Orange Summit! Danielle C. Executive Assistant Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Cloud Based Software" September 12, 2018 5.0 We love it and recommend it highly Pros This is the best software we have used for multiple doctors in multiple locations. It is also cloud based so we don't have to worry about a server going down or losing any information. Cons There is no electronic signature availability for the patient file Review Source EK Erin K. Business Assistant/Front Desk Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It just isn't as user friendly as we would like. Prefer Dentrix" June 13, 2017 3.0 Pros The automatic back up to the cloud makes us feel very secure. We had a data dump due to a lightening strike a few years ago. We spent many hours working to recover what was lost. With Curve we will never have to worry about that again. Cons I do not like the redundancy of this software. I spend entirely too much time re-entering the same information. I REALLY hate the insurance part of this software. Updating information is ridiculous! It really stinks that there is no way to update the carrier for a particular group!! We have many patients that come in with a new plan at the beginning of the year. It is miserable trying to make sure that it is updated for everyone in the group individually. Plus it makes for a lot of extra plans in the system.. Review Source Response from Curve Dental June 13, 2017 Hi, Erin! We glad to hear that we've taken away a big concern about data backup and recovery. Of course, we're sorry to hear of your frustration with insurance policies. After reading your comment we feel there may be a way to better efficiency, so we're going to give you a call to discuss. Best wishes! KH Keric H. Dentist/Owner Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Happy Curve User!" December 4, 2020 5.0 The customer support team at Curve Dental is AMAZING!!! They are there any time you need a hand and will jump thru hoops to get the job done. Pros It is extremely customizable. It is amazing how much great information you can get from the custom reports. Cons The fact that it is so customizable is a pro and a con. You can create any type of report you can imagine, using hundreds of different parameters. BUT you need to figure out what reports to run on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. Review Source AW Austin W. Dentist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good bones. Needs more refinement" December 4, 2020 4.0 Overall I like it. If we could auto charge old accounts and increase the quality of xrays, I’d be very happy. Pros I like the cloud based aspect and the ability to manage users access Cons Xrays aren’t as clear as I’m used to. I hate that I can’t auto charge interest on account receivables. Alternatives considered [Dentrix](https://www.capterra.com/p/2329/Dentrix/)[Dentrix Ascend](https://www.capterra.com/p/177828/Dentrix-Ascend/) Reason for choosing Curve Dental Even the Dentrix sales people said their ascend program sucked at the time. I wanted cloud based. Switched from [Dentrix](https://www.capterra.com/p/2329/Dentrix/) Wanted cloud based to reduce IT costs Review Source DRH Dr. Robert H. Dentist Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Must Do..." December 7, 2020 5.0 Overall...satisfied and for now, will continue to stay the line... Pros Jazzy looks, Ease of use, NO MORE TECH CONTRACTS!!! Cons Costly when doing add ons...feels a little “nickel and dime” style. This isn’t a cheap product, but not many other industries (used daily, with cloud back-up, charge near this rate. Because it’s dentist, the price keeps climbing...there will be a breaking point or a mass abandonment when a fair-priced competitor comes along...just sayin!!!

Office Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Dental review " September 6, 2022 4.0 Overall experience has been just fine. Pros Able to make your own shortcut buttons for charting, the ease of viewing claims, and the ease of adding thing to files and letters in patients charts Cons More features for sending out review texts and emails, deciding on who they can go to. Ex: just to new patients not to all patients Review Source JH Jennifer H. dentist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good product but room for improvement" December 7, 2020 4.0 Pros Cloud access at home makes it easy to check on patients and work remotely. Sleek design and simplistic design makes the main features easy to use. Cons Making reports can be confusing, some very standard/simple reports not available. Many tweaks and issues that we were told were being worked on havent been resolved in 2.5 years. Reason for choosing Curve Dental cost, appearance of software, capabilities like xrays, pt communication Switched from [Dentrix Ascend](https://www.capterra.com/p/177828/Dentrix-Ascend/) Dentrix Ascend was terrible Review Source RM Robert M. Doctor Owner Medical Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Curve has been great" September 15, 2022 5.0 Overall satisfied Pros Easy to use, and intuitive. Nice layout and very clean look. Cons Billing is a invoice based rather than ledger, but it's easy enough to learn. Just difficult to train for since everyone needs training for it. Review Source GK Grace K. Office Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Unresponsive staff" December 4, 2020 5.0 Pros I DID like the fact that help was always available until this point. Cons I was promised that there would be immediate help when it came to urgent issues. I needed a provider to be added to Curve system so that she/he can see patients and properly bill the insurance companies. I was told that there is only ONE person in the whole company that can do that and that no one else can help me. After 20 or so phone calls, voice messages, and emails I finally threw a fit so they had the supervisor activate the provider on the account. Obviously it was a matter that took less 5 minutes to do and I had to leave numerous messages and had been pushed around for over 24 hours on this matter. This is unacceptable and I cannot believe the service I received. This is a TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE! Review Source KP Karen P. Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great software " September 6, 2022 5.0 Pros We’ve been using it for many years. It is easy to use, costumer service is great. They made some updates and included new features, such as reminders, which we really like it to have all in one product. Also, now we can customize/add notes to treatment plan, which is great! Cons Since they’ve updated the treatment planing, that we can now add notes to it, I can’t think of any cons. Review Source JM Jill M. Office Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Overall positive anxious for more updates related to billing / word process / portal enhancements " June 8, 2017 4.0 Cost savings no server to upkeep Pros Ease of charting and upload and organization of templates for images. Accounting breakdown of invoices. Patient portal and ability to send new patient paperwork is fantastic and saves so much time at appointment. Cons Insurance profile is too limiting as well as the word processing options in Curve. The capability to send statements needs to be reworked, need direct access to account from A/R reports with capability to send letters add account notes etc. tracking of statements and account out reach needs to be all in one area. Review Source Response from Curve Dental June 8, 2017 Thank you, Jill, for your kind review! We think our online forms are pretty awesome, too. We took careful note of your comments on billing as we are looking toward a face lift of sorts in that area. We may reach out to you in the future for clarification. Best wishes to you and your entire team at Stonecastle Dentistry! Cri B. General Manager Used the software for: ### "The Best Customer Support in the Biz" March 19, 2013 5.0 I have yet to see a dental software that has all of the functions that we would like, but Curve is by far the closest to nirvana. We also feel that the web based nature of the program positions curve well for future functionality and industry growth. The bottom line is that any downsides to the software are small in proportion to the upsides. Pros The software is absolutely beautiful and is well setup for fabulous treatment plan presentations. The software can be accessed from anywhere so when I'm a passenger on the way home, I'm often online via a mobile hotspot updating notes or sending out a claims batch. Since the entire program is web based we don't have to worry about managing a server which cuts down substantially on downtime and IT costs. Gendex x-ray imaging integration is quite good, allowing for direct import of images without a bridge. Curve's customer service is truly the best that I have seen with any software company ever. If there is an issue, Curve will resolve it, usually immediately. Cons Some of the twain integration is a bit clumsy at the moment, primarily with intra oral pics. Curve is working on a new release however which should alleviate these issues. There are some additional functions that we would like to see with billing, but these are in line with challenges we've faced with other softwares. Review Source LS Lori S. Dentist Medical Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Could be great." December 4, 2020 3.0 On the clinic side it was fairly easy to use. We did get frustrated with the treatment planning tabs. Billing/accounting side was a nightmare having to open multiple windows all the time. Pros Cloud-based! Charting was easy. Dragging and dropping was nice. Cons Accounting was difficult having to open multiple windows especially if there were many family members. Billing was frustrating since you couldn't partially complete a claim and go back to it if you were interrupted by a phone call or patient interaction. It was difficult to confirm that we had placed patients on the proper recare. Reports were too comprehensive, when wanting and aging it printed out all the patients with their names, etc. Just wanted the tallies. Reason for choosing Curve Dental It seemed to offer the most at that time Review Source LB Linda B. Bus. Mgr. Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Training Process Needs Your Review" August 2, 2019 4.0 We definitely had to make a change in our practice and this was huge! Now that we are a couple of months in I am happy to say it is all behind us! There are changes that we would like to see and we have sent in many tickets. Hopefully we will see them come to fruition. Pros From my stand point which is mostly office oriented, I do like the software now that I am more familiar with it. I love being able to see both our locations on one screen and to be able to work at both locations from my office. Reporting is different but I like it. I love being able to navigate all over from the appoinment screen. Cons I did not like how our training was run. It was very confusing and not hands on. The trainer jumped all over instead of sticking to one thing before it was learned. Our clinic has had the most difficulty. We dont like how the charting is set up to show work that needs to be done vs what has already been done. Colors are faint and runs into another. Reason for choosing Curve Dental It seemed the best one from the others we looked at. Switched from [Eaglesoft](https://www.capterra.com/p/60064/EagleSoft-13-00/) We have 2 locations and we needed to be able to see both in pne spot. Review Source mV maria V. owner Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "curve program in dentistry" December 5, 2020 5.0 good could be better Pros easy to use , need too many attachment programs to complete tasks Cons I feel now they are more focus on charging every single improvement instead of improve as a program Customer service is good when you can reach them tickets take too long to be answered sometimes is something that can wait weeks but other is urgent a prompt answer Alternatives considered [Dentrix](https://www.capterra.com/p/2329/Dentrix/)[Dentrix Ascend](https://www.capterra.com/p/177828/Dentrix-Ascend/) Reason for choosing Curve Dental easy to use Review Source SS Stewart S. Ceo Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Disappointed in Curve Jacking my rates by 500%" August 22, 2018 3.0 Dont get curve unless they agree on a long term fee structure. They will kill u in the end once your deep into integration into ur practice. Pros I have been a curve customer for 7 yrs. Overall it's a solid platform but I simply cant get over the fact that they jacked my rates by 500% Cons Here is my gripe and it's a big one. They raise my fee from 250 per month to 1000 per month. They did it because I was not smart enough to lock in a lifetime rate and I have 9 doctors and two locations. They kill me for each doctor per month and no quarter for part time doctors. They used to work with me because they understood the part time folks should be burdened with a full fee. Other issue is they fail miserably with two practices sharing info about patients. Review Source AL Amy L. Office Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I have had a great experience so far. Curve definitely has a lot to offer! " June 19, 2017 4.0 easy dental software Pros It is very user friendly and easy for a person who is scared of computers to use. Reports and lists are easy to access and creating forms take less than a few minutes making front desk responsibilities a lot less stressful. Charting and clinical features are also great and improving as time goes on. Cons Accounting aspect took a bit to get used to as we were used to a different software. It lacks some features that other software like Softdent and Dentrix have. Review Source Response from Curve Dental August 2, 2017 Amy, many thanks for your kind review. We think Curve Dental is pretty easy to use, too. With regard to the accounting aspect, we approach billing a bit differently. While it may take some small adjustments on your part, the added capabilities the it provides are worth it. Best wishes to you and your practice! MD Miguel D. Owner Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to use" April 20, 2022 5.0 Pros I like the clean interface. It is easy to learn and also teach new users. Cons Wish you could chart caries and diagnoses instead of just treatment plan. Review Source JK Jessica K. Dentist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Nice cloud based option " December 5, 2020 4.0 Customer support is nice, I do get frustrated when things go down or there are glitches, but I suppose it comes with any software. Pros User-friendly, phone app, customizable note templates. Cons I have used this software for over eight years and while things have come a long way, sometimes feel like the software is still behind the curve, no pun intended!

Assistant Office Manager Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Almost always perfect." June 13, 2017 5.0 Easy to use. Easy to train on. Quick replies when help is needed. Curve community is so beneficial! Pros Any time I have questions I get them answered right away and if the representative doesn't know it they take the time to find out the answer and get back to me right away. Also its VERY user friendly and teaching others to use the software is super easy. Cons Sometimes it goes slower than I'd like but that's also probably our internet. I wish there were ways to customize the treatment plan wording and to include a signature line. I also wish that a feature would be added to notate if deductibles have been met for patients or if the maximum was used by all services or only some. Review Source Response from Curve Dental June 13, 2017 Holy 5-star review, Faith! Thank you for your comments. User friendliness is important to any practice when looking for dental software as it makes the transition so much easier. We'll reach out to you about your treatment plan comments. Thanks again! DJ Dwight J. Doctor/owner Medical Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Software and love it." September 6, 2022 4.0 I love the whole platform but for my specialty in Perio the perio charting needs a lot of work. Pros The ease. It is very intuitive. Everything just flows, specially letters and notes. Cons The perio charting is messed up, confusing and inaccurate. It's embarrassing as a Periodontist trying to use this and send to general dentists. I've asked for changes and modifications and corrections to get this up to the industry standard for Perio charting but to no avail. Reason for choosing Curve Dental The ease of use.

Dentist Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Curve Review" December 4, 2020 5.0 started in May 2018. I am not the most tech savvy person but I picked up on Curve very quickly. I have been very satisfied overall with its ease of use. I can custom tailor the business reports to my specifications, which comes in handy. Pros Ease of use, intuitive nature, clean design, support is good for the most part. Cons R-copia, found out that I was deactivated without my knowledge. Cost me 1/2 hour of my time (and paid staff while nothing was getting done). Reason for choosing Curve Dental the fact that it was cloud based and the ease of use.
