Aesthetic Record EMR

I’ve been using AR for four years. It’s gone from straight up terrible to somewhat manageable but only because they introduced LeadAR for managing patient calls and tracking leads. AR is so lacking in features it’s barely passable as an EMR. The biggest issues are the patient documenting, bloated and disjointed layout, slow interface, and the patient portal. Patients cannot easily login to the portal. If they miss their initial welcome email when they make their first appointment (which is highly likely) the system will never let them in unless an admin resends this invite email and the patient opens it, clicks the links to verify their phone and email, and confirms their personal details. There’s no self-service button for the patients to do this on their own. It’s the dumbest thing. What software doesn’t allow users to reset their own login? Their customer service is absolute garbage. Nobody can answer a damn question and they will treat you like you’re the idiot, even though they don’t bother testing their own shoddy product or attempting to understand where any of the common problems are. They’re more preoccupied with their cute conferences and podcasts. .

It is very inexpensive! Customer service is frustrating and slow. The updates are frequent and can slow down progress with charting to a turtles pace. When you speak with customer service, they blame it on your device, your cache anything but their app. It can take way too long to actually get support while you have a patient in your office and you’re getting increasingly frustrated and need immediate assistance. If it weren’t so difficult to port over to a new EMR, I would’ve done it years ago.
