OperaDDS

Our initial integration process was a little bumpy since we have a very secure IT company that helps to keep our office secure - with that being said - OperaDDS went above and beyond to make things right for our office. Almost everyone I talked to had a great attitude when helping with this process. Going electronic with our new patient paperwork has been essential in saving us time (which is the best feature of this product) but patients love being able to read and fill out the paperwork at home. 99% of patients are able to figure out how to complete this paperwork on their own. It is easy to import and organize ahead of time. The pricing is excellent considering the amount of time we are saving. If new patients are not filling out paperwork ahead of time, this is usually a good sign of a patient might no show, which saves us even more time and money. This product is invaluable, and if some patients aren't able to use it at home on computer, iPad or phone, they can complete it on iPad in the office. Patients can import their insurance cards ahead of time which saves time when patients don't always know what insurance they carry. We are so pleased with the ease of use and how much time we have saved with this software. We LOVE it.

Integration was not as smooth as we hoped, but the company made that issue right by offering to not only fix the issue but give us two months free. I was not very happy with the billing department (a mistake was made on OperaDDS side) and when I tried to speak to billing about it - their representative was very rude and would not actually take my conversation and emails with another one of their representatives in to account in order to resolve the issue. I was really unhappy with the billing manager's attitude. Other than that, no other issues.

It works behind the scenes - Once I have my options set up, it does what it is supposed to do. It sends out appointment reminders and recalls. It's easy to send out medical records using HIPAA requirements and secure contact with other clinics.

Sometimes is difficult to get a new dental office to accept the secure emails because they have to go in and set up a user name and password to get access to the files. Seems some office don't want to take the time to do this and they call and complain to us. However as this is a HIPAA requirement to send records securely, they don't have a choice. When there have been issues and they can't get in we contact OperaDDS and they contact that office and help them access the records.
