If so I may want to come over some time and see you in operation.

Jeff,

I have to agree with Ekram.  While we did not migrate any files, I was told that if I ever decided to go with another practice management system, I would have total access to all of my Open Dental records.  I had 2 previous conversions from one PMS to another, and neither were really satisfactory because of proprietary software, files, etc - the other PMS companies were no help since I was moving to another comany.  I decided to try OD based on that because I felt that if Jordan Sparks was that confident in his product that he wasn't going to try to lock me into his system, it must be pretty good.

We have never regretted it.

Hi Jeff,

 

Take a look at Open Dental practice management software www.opendental.com

 

I know many offices that have migrated from Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Softdent, and Practiceworks to Open Dental and have been quite satisfied. They will even do a test conversion for you.

 

Multi-page scanning needs to be supported by the software at a driver level for the specific scanner. visOra imaging software has multi-page scanning capability with Fujitsu high speed document scanners. Works very well and visOra has a very tight integration with Open Dental. Switching practice management software does not have to be difficult. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Subject: [ACEsthetics] Office management software

 

I have been a huge fan of Eaglesoft since starting to use it in 2004-2005.  We switched to it from Dentrix when we wanted to go paperless.  It used to be very responsive to user input and updates were usually full of helpful tweaks.  The most recent major update reached a point where it was close to shutting down our office.  And Pattersons response was a very polite, "We are sorry you are having those issues.  None of our other users are."  Then later "Okay some of our other users are".  Then later "This was a known issue when we released but it effects very few users.  Are your computers up to date."

 

Anyway…I could easily go off on a tangent here but now we are having constant scanning issues and the scanners they recommend are generally one page at a time scanners that make using them totally impractical.

 

So…to that end…we are going to start looking around again at various practice software.  I am not a huge fan of cloud based at this stage so we can forego those for now.  I currently own schick intraoral sensors and a sirona digital pan.  Would love to have integration there.  Also we are completely chartless and staying that way is a requirement.

 

I know Eaglesoft stores things in an old version of a SQL database so data migration should not be completely impossible.

 

Anyone have any thoughts or something they completely love?  We are not taking this lightly.

 

Thanks,

Jeff
