Rarely have issues. Once my harddrive was acting up, they could tell on support and called me, they checked it out and told me it was my computer, switched it for another so I could work and took it in over lunch to my tech place to have it replaced. Customizability of EHR is great or notes and I merge custom templates made in Textexpander as needed. Can monitor how many visits a client is seen which really is great ability, I know chiropractors like that ability. > > **Cons**: During the HIPPA compliance a lot was put on hold, but now they are putting a lot into being progressive. > > Being able to customize has been huge and they are few softwares that are HIPPA compliant both static and motion of less then 50 out there. They take security to the max. Investing in the set-up and organization is key to really make this software work optimally. Unlike others that have less flexibility your are stuck with their design of templates etc. You need to put your thinking cap on. Having worked in a lot of offices most never use that ability a software has. Take the time to invest in it. When you do it is worth it daily. ----- ### "Best Mac based software for Dental practice" — 5.0/5 > **Henry** | *5 September 2019* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Intuitive interface, scheduling, and detailed reports. Unix based. > > **Cons**: E-prescribing could be much stronger. EPCS has been weak. We have been using DrFirst, the industry leader to supplement this weakness. Confusing account statements from the patient perspective; however, the software engineers are improving it. > > Been using this software since 2004. The company has been responsive to suggestions and adjustments. ----- ### "MacPractice for chartless office" — 3.0/5 > **Cas** | *21 April 2021* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: The storing of patient's digital information, reports, referrals, photographs/x-rays, periocharts is well done. > > **Cons**: The software is setup to work in multiple healthcare fields so it can be difficult for the staff and the doctor to learn the system as much of the data fields are improperly labeled for dentistry; plus there is much that has nothing to do with dentistry entirely and can be misleading. The ledger can also be confusing as it does not provide a running balance by date if there is more than one patient on the account. The biggest problem is that MacPractice does not seem interested in making changes to the data field names to help the solve the problem. Also their business practices are somewhat questionable. They sold me on a fixed fee for a collection of their software products if I committed to purchasing the software while at their booth at the dental convention. Several years went by and they honored the arrangement. Recently they sold their company to a foreign interest and this year all previous deals were cancelled and they more than doubled their yearly fee. I scheduled an interview with the person that handles the fee arrangements. We agreed to reduce the number of software products in our package and he would get back to me with the new fee arrangement. It has been one and a half months since that meeting. And no response. I have called twice and still no returned calls. Their office staff says there is no management structure that allows for me to contact someone else to help me. ----- ### "Solid Mac-based software" — 4.0/5 > **C Nadia** | *7 February 2018* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Presentation, easy to read, one stop for billing, insurance and scheduling. very responsive support > > **Cons**: Currently there are glitches in the patient incident forms, family account balance is printing vs. individual patient balance. It is often difficult for MacPractice to keep up with changes in Apple OS > > Good comprehensive dental practice management -- easy checkout and insurance filing ----- ### "MacPractice FOR Your Practice" — 5.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *25 January 2022* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: ease of use, minimal training required, versatile like the Apple Environment > > **Cons**: Expensive, but you get what you pay for, worth investment > > the reports the software was capable of running, made patient reactivations a breeze ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/77176/macpractice-dds?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/77176/macpractice-dds) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
