### "Has worked well for us, very responsive to changes and suggestions" — 4.0/5

> **Sandra B** | *5 July 2019* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of customization, particularly for our holistic practice.  We can easily add procedures such as acupuncture and chiropractic. The company also was great when we initially signed up for this software, adding wellness plans and doing other custom things to help streamline our  processes.  Also like that it's in the cloud so we don't have to do our own backups and can access anywhere.
> 
> **Cons**: Still some things I'd like to see in terms of financial analysis that align with AAHA figures to make it easier to compare to other practices (reports).  Also wish there was an easier way to schedule appointments when we're using cell phones out of the office.
> 
> This has been very functional for us and the price is excellent.

> 
> **Pros**: We have used this system for 3 years and have been very pleased with the functionality and simplicity of the software as well as the ability to train new staff members on its usage.  This software is easily used by everyone from the complete computer novice to the IT savvy.  Additionally, whenever we have had questions or suggestions to improve the functionality for our practice, The customer support team have been great\!  Definitely recommend this software\!
> 
> **Cons**: My only minor complaint is that there is no way to know when someone else is making updates to the patient record which occasionally results in the second person into the record losing their modifications.

It can be tailored to our unique practice needs and optimized to drive efficiencies and processes that improve costs.   Lik sour new hospital it has evolved over the last 2.5 years and is now better than ever.
> 
> **Cons**: For the value - Nothing\!  I would like to see in the future a Voice to Text solution that can keep up with our hospitals pace.  The current voice to text solution exists but is about as fast as traditional  keystrokes.
> 
> Speed Quality and Value are apparent with this system.  OV thinks outside the box and brings process and efficiency to the veterinary hospital
