Curve DentalReasons for Choosing Dovetail
Dentrix is clunky, it's a bit of this and that glued together to make one software. It's not mobile and is very expensive!!!Switched From

coming from another cloud software, dovetail surprised me with the number of fully developed features and their ability to respond to our adoption hiccups immediately. That level of "listening" and "jumping in" to help with our problem continued after we were boarded on.
Pros
awesome customer support from onboarding and throughout.
Cons
Treatment planning/ charting a little different than what I am used to.

Customer service is terrible, would not recommend this software to anyone unless you enjoy having misery for yourself and your staff.
Pros
I was initially attracted to Dovetail because it was cloud-based and the idea of not having to maintain my server anymore was really exciting. The idea of going paperless and abilities to text patients for appointment confirmation all sounded great.
Cons
We have been unable to print statements for months now. We have brought this to Dovetail for over six weeks and still have no solution in sight. The customer service is terrible, we have only heard excuses about addressing the issues and still no fixes after six weeks is very disappointing. Initially, Dovetail said their tech team is really busy, "currently engrossed in other more pressing deadlines", so we'll just have to wait. After another week, Dovetail said, "heavy backlog of tickets that were dealing with just a bit more pressing of matters". After a few more weeks, Dovetail said, "It’s an issue with the large number of patients you have and the system timing out."

This is my daily software that I use to see my patients. Its an amazing software that allows me to be in touch with my patients at my finger tips while Im on the go. When my hygienist told me her dad was feeling some sensitivity on upper right quad I was able to pull up his xrays right there and then to see and review the xrays.
Pros
Cloud based.
Easy to access schedule and patients on my phone.
Cons
Minor things that will be fixed in updates if not already.
