Pros

We using Kareo free ehr it is very easy to learn and use and its almost free if we don’t use their practice management system. It is web based app so it can be use from anywhere only with the help of fast internet.

Cons

Copying and pasting text is quite difficult task it is somewhat more irritating. As it is web based system if you didn’t logout before closing it. The saved client record will be locked, and to unlocked you have login from your desktop or laptop rather than Iphone or Ipad.

Pros

Interface is very user engaging and convenient to learn. Scheduling patient’s appointment and search patient’s history is very easy aswell.

Cons

There are many features on which Kareo should take action to improve them. Like to see patient’s age of date of birth it takes extra clicks. On the appointment information there should be additional information provided like, address, date of birth, phone no & email etc.

Before Kareo we were using an expensive EHR which wasn’t completely worth it and waste of money. Kareo has some minor glitches in the system but overall fulfill the needs of our practice. And the staff is happy.

Pros

Kareo’s reporting section is super easy and descriptive to explain the balance to the patient. Patient scheduling is very easy to create. As we are working in 5 doctors practice it is very beneficial to see and schedule accordingly.

Cons

Sometimes frequent update creates a little mess up. If they could send a notification before updating the system we’ll be able to hold and save or documents timely. Rest is good.

Pros

Kareo is very user friendly emr with a lot of useful features and functions according to the need of our practice. Customer support is always very friendly and understanding.

Cons

There are few areas where kareo needs to be improved like when we send the patient demographics there is no option for labs and studies. Hospital version is bit different and difficult to use. And it should allow to add more section per patient visit.

I found Kareo very user friendly, easy to use and navigate though out the system. The online tutorials are very helpful to understand the system. It helped a lot in storing patient’s record online.

Pros

The system is easy to use and its well designed for the big practices or where more provider needs an emr system. The could based system helps to store my patient’s data online without any fear of stealing and hacking.

Cons

The system is a bit pricy. As a solo provider practice I cannot afford the monthly fees and annual charges. If the price could be reduced then it would be great to use.

Pros

I can use Kareo on IPhone devices. It is easy to access from anywhere. We were using dr chrono before so it is relatively cheaper than from it. The newly added patient messaging feature is very useful.

Cons

The system is completely manual even it doesn’t have autosave for provider’s note. The system is very complicated to use in the hospital environment. There are lot of glitches throughout the software.

Horrible Customer Support

Customer Support

Value for Money

Pros

Their price is very suitable for almost every type of practice. But I guess it is the only attractive aspect to the purchase but it is not worth.

Cons

Customer support is totally messed up. I decided to go with the kareo because of their reasonable price but If I ever knew about their poor client service I would rather like to pay more and hassle less. When I asked to cancel my all my subscriptions about 2: 30 pm they billed me again at 7:30. When I asked them to explain for this extra bill they have no clue and nothing could be done. I am not gonna suggest and use this product again ever.

Pros

Excellent customer service. Kareo billing portal is easy to use even for a not-so tech savvy person.

Cons

Kareo Engage was not very useful for my practice. I have not used Kareo EHR. Kareo billing portal frequently gets upgraded which means that we need to delete and re-install it every 2-3 weeks which is a hassle.

General comments

The upgrade part is a hassle. otherwise it is good.
