Amazing software

Reviewed on 2021/12/28

Pros

This product is user friendly , it is ideal to go for paper less . Software can store all relevant information of the patients. Easy to generate All kind of Reports, referrals to specialists , patients reminders, etc. The training given was amazing.Our trainer [SENSITIVE CONTENT] did a amazing job. She is very knowledgeable, encouraging and really helpful trainer. She is always there when ever we need support.

Cons

After sending the claims to insurance , sometimes the amount is sitting under the patient balance not under the insurance. Sometimes sitting wrong amount under insurance or patient balance. That make me to do one or few transactions before entering the payment. As I heard from Abel dent support,They are fixing that problem in the new version .

Response from ABELDent

Abeldent LS+

Reviewed on 2022/03/07

I have been a client with Abeldent for more than 35years and from their business office to technical support they have always been a pleasure to work with. The new Abeldent LS+ has been easy to learn and adapt to, all of our staff have taken to it very quickly.

Pros

Installation was seamless. Tutorials and education provided was easy to follow. In house training the best! Support always helpful and available.

Cons

Needs more information on the business end for accounting. Daily Summarized Totals need to break down as previous programs did. Grand Totals of patients accounts not available in financials.

Response from ABELDent

Thank you for reviewing our dental software! We appreciate your long-time loyalty to our product and patience in letting us evolve into the all in one practice management dental software solution we are today. We are pleased that our modern version, ABELDent LS+, has been so easy to learn for your whole team. We look forward to continuing to provide you with top-notch educational content as well as unmatched live answer support.
Regarding the accounting aspect, this is great feedback. If possible could we have one of our trainers reach out to you, or you are welcome to contact us. We would like to review these requirements with you and see if there is any insight we can provide to you with future updates.

Review for ABELDent

Reviewed on 2019/02/12

ABELDent has been a pleasure to deal with. Challenges have been few, very far between and always addressed. We recently had our office shut down due to a flood in the city we live in which has closed our office down for over 9 months now. ABELDent staff has gone above and beyond to support us during this especially difficult time. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend ABELDent.

Pros

The software is user friendly and the help menu is easy to navigate to find the information that you are looking for. The reports can be customized to bring up the exact information you are looking for from the program to fit your office requirements. The schedule is easy to customize and adding codes and changing colours is straight forward and extremely simple. Their website is great and easy to find what you are looking for. The tutorials are very helpful.

Cons

It would be nice to have more flexibility in changing the way the statements look and not be restricted to a certain number of characters in some areas. To be able to load a custom medical history would also be great as well to have a way to check contraindications with a patients medications.

AbelDent at Stonley Dental Studio

Reviewed on 2019/09/30

Patient data and reporting are completely paperless. Reports are very useful and can be run for any and all time frames. The software is excellent for our purposes.

Pros

Software has been specifically designed for dental practices and the training and support has been excellent and very timely.

Cons

Occasionally issues have arisen after an update has been installed that have taken a while for the AbelDent to resolve. The issues never stopped our business from being able to operate. Once reported to AbelDent follow up was immediate and a resolution followed shortly thereafter.

Response from ABELDent

Dear Ken:

Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience using ABELDent. We are glad to see the software is meeting your needs and you have had positive experiences with our training and support teams. Our goal when providing updates is to improve existing features as well as provide new functionality but as you have pointed out, sometimes issues arrive glad we were able to resolve them to your satisfaction in a timely fashion.

great product

Reviewed on 2018/09/25

Outstanding customer service, very curteous and helpful anytime you call.
An amazing product that makes our life soo much easier even during the busiest days at the office

Pros

It is very user friendly and most tasks are very intuitive and require minimal effort to complete.
We keep track of our proposed treatments in a very convenient manner by creating contacts that facilitate the job of the secretary when the time comes to schedule appointments.

Cons

As an office located in Quebec, the fact that it no longer provides french customer care and it cannot send claims to RAMQ directly... things that i think are going to be finally fixed very soon

Response from ABELDent

Your positive feedback validates that we are on the right track and it encourages us to continue providing great system features and customer support.

Unfortunately, we are no longer able to provide French customer care but we do continue to provide English language software that includes support for Quebec-specific features.

In 2018 RAMQ implemented a new version of their claims system. We are now certified to support that new system, and we are in the final stages of preparing a new update for release that will support this capability.

ABELDent is the Best

Reviewed on 2020/02/07

Overall I have had a positive experience with ABELDent. I have trained others and been trained on updates. It just gets better.

Pros

I find Abel to be extremely user friendly. I have worked with it now for 20 years and it just keeps getting better. I recently changed employers, and my new office has a newer more improved version. I thoroughly enjoy working on it. I feel comfortable with the upgrade after a mere 2 weeks.

Cons

Some financial aspects could be tweaked. Financial history should be individual and or easily separated.

Response from ABELDent

Thanks for the positive review and your continued loyalty using ABELDent. It's rewarding to know that you find the system user-friendly and the updates to be of good value. Financial history can be shown individually for any patient responsible for paying their own charges. The family account ledger will show the charges of all individuals that the designated account holder is responsible for.

ABELDent Review

Reviewed on 2018/10/22

ABELDent has been great to work with very knowledgeable sales and support of there product.

Pros

From an IT prospective- The install process from the Server to the end user client is very impressive.

Cons

Sch.ini is per PC install- I would like to see if a user moves around on a different PC in the office that there saved settings carry over.

Response from ABELDent

When developing new versions of ABELDent, we take IT issues into consideration such as the ease of application installation.

With respect to Sched.ini, it is a file that allows a user to customize the visual settings (colours, etc.) on their schedule. The file settings are currently tied to a workstation and not a provider. The original purpose of this feature was to allow the scheduler in different locations (e.g. front desk, operatory) to be set up differently. The concept of having it set by person where the user can transfer their settings to a different location (workstation) is an interesting one and it is something we will consider moving forward.
