		Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros NONE. Helps with patient communication. Reminders are decent. It integrates with practice fusion. You can eventually some day get in touch with someone to assist you if you try really hard and accommodate their schedule Claim their products are HIPAA certified. One could look on their website to see what they are offering. It provided a solution for the missing parts of the Practice Fusion poorly designed EMR that I was already using. Practice Fusion subcontracted Updox to allow users like myself to be able to modify and send appointment reminders in a more flexible manner to patients in our practice. Easily integrates with EHR, and this is the only pro I can think of. Cons THIEVES AND LIARS - They locked me into an extra year through lies. Customer service and “Leadership” are fair to awful Poor customer service. Overpriced products. In our opinion they border on being a sham operation. When the two companies developed a system that caused a malfunction with appointment reminders where patients started to receive appointment reminders to come to the office at random times, when the office was actually closed and no patient appointments were scheduled. Neither Updox nor Practice Fusion took responsibility for their system glitches and first deflected by blaming each other and then deflected the responsibility onto the consumer. They took no responsibility for the dangerous impact their system glitches had on patient care. Even after I cancelled my contracts with both companies, they continued to send "fake" appointment reminders to my patients, continuing to create chaos in my practice and taking no responsibility for solving the problem. They didn't even have the capacity to consider that they had a system glitch. They just automatically blamed my office for causing the error even though I hadn't used their system in months. 1. Often does not work properly, very often. 2. Receive faxes 3 days after being sent. 3. Says "All Systems Operational" WHEN SYSTEMS ARE NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. 4. NO SUPPORT available on weekends are evenings. Medical does not sleep or take weekends off. 5. Far too expensive for the low-quality product that it is. 5.When they acknowledge problems, they do not fix.
