Efficient, Precise and User-friendly
We are a busy Pain Management practice mainly treating spine related disorders. We have been using an EMR software for charting approximately 10 years. We had started with MDSynergy, which is the parent company of Althea. Along the years, the software evolved by use of different platforms which made it easier to use. However, late 2019, the company launched Althea which is an apple based EMR software that allows the use of an iPad or even an iPhone to do charting which is obviously more in tune with the current times of being more efficient, precise and mobile while delivering quality health care and maximizing patient satisfaction, which are key to a successful medical practice. Overall, our experience with the use of this EMR software has been excellent and we highly recommend it.

Althea - EMR world's best kept secret
After over one year of careful consideration I am so happy to have chosen Althea for my outpatient family medicine practice. Both Athena and Epic EHR were heavily considered, but ultimately, it was a no-brainer; Althea is far superior to all of them. I have also used Cerner and Kareo. Althea is the only system that is actually a pleasure to use. Features are constantly being added which have greatly increased my capacity to care for patients. In addition, the customer service is unparalleled. Thank you Althea for all your hard work. The experience as a whole has been nothing but pleasurable. Starting with the support team, they are really great to work with to the EMR itself which is to say the least, a complete pleasure to use. This is hands-down one of the best if not the best EHR out there

After a very brief training session online we were able to immediately begin practicing with Telemedicine. Both our doctor and patients have easily been able to use this and are in fact grateful that during this time we were able to give and they were able to receive medical care in a safe way. We have also been receiving reimbursements through insurance companies already and easily with the CPT codes provided. This has been a very beneficial program for our office as well as our patients. I would definitely recommend this for any practice, whether it be a speciality practice like ours or any other type of practice.

Easy and Intuitive
I had Althea implementation this week and this EHR is very simple to operate and learn. I have a busy dermatology office with over 100 patients every day. I did not have to change my schedule on the implementation date and the transition from the old EHR to Althea went very smoothly without any issues. I have used other EHRs that were often cumbersome and very difficult to operate. Althea is very intuitive and if you know how to operate an iPhone it should be a breeze for anyone. The system allows you to configure various templates for customization. I am SO happy with Althea.

User-friendly and efficient
For years I was using e-Clinical Works and was afraid to switch over because I thought the transition would be difficult. It was the best thing I've done for my practice/business in 20 years. Cutting edge technology. Super-efficient and intuitive, user-friendly. It quite literally took me hours to understand the system, rather than weeks. I haven't taken a chart home since I started using this system two years ago. Highly highly recommend. Bonus, because of the speed and efficiency, I've actually cut down on a couple of staff. I have researched dozens of EHR Systems over the years. But without a shadow of a doubt, Althea is the best by far. So easy and user-friendly. It took my MAsJust a couple of hours to learn the system, as it is so intuitive. I didn't even have to take a day off from work to learn the system. The management team is second non-, and super responsive to suggestions and input. If I could, I would give it 10 stars. Switched from eClinicalWorks, antiquated technology extremely inefficient
