Dentrix vs. Solutionreach

[Dentrix is] well suited for a busy practice like my own. Does require a significant up front investment. It was already in place when I purchased the practice from the previous owner. May not be suited for a smaller practice that would not find value in the upfront costs associated with it.

I would stay away from this company. Not sure why the change, but over the past 2 years literally every level of the organization from tech support through to the CEO has shown complete lack of responsiveness, concern or interest in solving their most loyal client's most basic problems. Their incompetence finally drove us to cancel our accounts after over 10 years with them.

• Easy to look up, edit, delete, break and make appointments. This is great when you're on the phone with someone and are able to quickly locate them in the system and see what appointments they have.
• Easily make changes to providers information, colors or schedules. This is nice because we tend to have fill in hygienists and we can change their colors so it will not indicate the same colors as are our normal staff.
• Easily print reports and deposits from the office manager. This helps us keep track of new patients, aging reports, unscheduled appointments, unscheduled treatment, continuing care appointments and so much more.

Incentivized

• Sending out weekly, daily, and hourly appointment reminders via text, email and phone call.
• Their customer service reps are almost always available right when you need them, and are very easy-going and helpful.
• This service changes the game for our office! It sets us apart from many other offices who can't offer the services that we can with SR. I mean how many of you can currently TEXT your dental office directly?! We can! :)

• Outdated--it's not cloud based.
• Does not pull reports we need for patients like demographics in flow charts.
• Is not an open API.

• Landline versus mobile and email. If a patient has a landline and an email or a landline and a mobile number it automatically eliminates the landline confirmation. Some of our eldery patients don't like or know how to text but they have a cellphone. I have a multitude of patients I still have to make a confirmation phone call to because SR won't send a landline call because they have a mobile number.
• Newsletter editing. Wish it was a little easier to edit. That being said I do love the overall selection and use of Newsletters.

We save too much time with Solution Reach to turn back now.

We have used Dentrix support and they seem to be helpful. We are able to schedule meetings as needed within a short time frame, and are usually able to resolve any issues we may have within 1 or 2 calls. There doesn't seem to be as strong of a user community around Dentrix as there is with Epic.

Because I am all about customer service and they are right on it!

I used Patterson's EagleSoft in a limited capacity at a previous health center job. On the back end, EagleSoft was easier to setup, install, and manage than Dentrix. Backing up data files, migrating servers, was easier (but slower) on EagleSoft than on Dentrix. Dentrix appears to have a greater feature capability/set than EagleSoft does. Both have excellent technical support that is responsive, indepth, and well suited to address IT related problems with both EMR systems.

Solutionreach, in my opinion, is more user-friendly. They are also very quick to offer a helping hand in areas that might stump us. I also love that unlike Demandforce when we were using it Solutionreach is always on top of things. If for some reason our server has an issue and they don't receive the upload they need with our information someone is on the phone calling me to let me know. This is not the case with all software systems most don't inform you, you have to call for help when you notice that it hasn't uploaded with the data. This could put you weeks behind on your correspondence.

• Allows you to change the date to any date - Negative

• Increased revenue from appointments that may have been missed had they not received a confirmation or reminder call about an appointment. Able to fill that spot with someone else...
• Keeps our physicians in the forefront of the patients minds when thinking about healthcare for their child.
• We take pride in being a part of a family in assisting them with the care of their children. So birthday reminders and fun flyers or newsletters allow us to stay connected.
