Pros

I find NextGen Office to be a really useful platform for managing patient information. It has a range of templates and customization options that make organizing everything simple and this flexibility has been a game-changer for our practice. I can set up templates specific to the types of appointments we handle, and it's easy to adjust things to suit our workflow. This saves so much time, especially when documenting patient visits and retrieving records.

Cons

New software updates can be challenging for me because they often erase previously customized features which requires me to set them up again. medical staff and providers need to be retrained to become familiar with the new features and options.
