TheraNest vs AdvancedMD EHR

TheraNest provides an intuitive and user-friendly system for mental health providers. Users are happy with its telehealth feature as it helps them connect with clients virtually, even though it can have glitches sometimes. Most users who mentioned support found it frustrating that they were unable to speak to a customer service executive, and even when they did, the support team was unresponsive. While it offers Excel integration, the process is time-consuming. Credit card processing and billing are complex. Users say that it is not suitable for larger practices. A post-Covid increase in prices has not gone over well with some of its users.

While some users were happy with the systems integration and customization capabilities, far more users were extremely dissatisfied with other aspects of the system. A significant number of reviewers felt that the sales representatives misled customers noting that they lost money after implementing AdvancedMD and commenting that many features lacked the functionality that they required. Though the add-ons allow users to customize the system, many users complained that the add-ons come at a steep price, making them prohibitive to many users. Users also complained that they were surprised by hidden fees after implementation and felt that customer service was rude and unwilling to help when they called for support. A small number of reviews also noted that upgrades to the system frequently caused downtime and reported discrepancies in their billing that affected customers. While many of the reviews were negative, AdvancedMD remains a popular EHR solution. Due to its high price and difficulty to learn, it is best suited to large practices with the budget for necessary add-ons and internal technical support that is available to help ensure everyone who needs to can use the system.
