Pros: My personal favorite is its patient portal that keeps our patients fully involved. Our patients can not only communicate with our physicians but they can also view their medical histories and also book and manage their appointments themselves which is like letting them play quite a role in their own treatment.
Cons: Just the pop ups are frustrating at times.
Verdict: I would highly recommend.
