Disappointed
Customer support is abysmal. Clients can request appointments during times that are blocked off as unavailable. I've requested updates on when this will be fixed and got no response at all until I sent multiple emails asking why they were not responding (waiting 24 hours between each message on business days to give them time to respond). They have a Facebook group that is supposed to be to ask for help, but admins arbitrarily delete comments and posts. When asked why my post was deleted, they lied and said they did not delete it. When I pushed the issue they said they have the right to delete posts and refused to discuss further. When I signed up, I chose TherapyNotes because they stated my price would not be raised. I specifically asked about this because SimplePractice had just raised rates. If I were choosing an EHR today, I would not go with TherapyNotes due to how awful their customer service is, but it's hard to switch. I hope this review warns others to look elsewhere. Edit to respond to the reply: I was told my ticket was closed. I have an email stating this. Additionally, I have never said it’s not appropriate to moderate a group. But lying about deleting posts is not appropriate. I see you yet again refuse to address that. As a response to their claim that they have to moderate the group: I have never once said moderation is not appropriate. I have said that it is inappropriate to lie about deleting posts. No one from TN has addressed this specific concern other than to tell me you are "handling it internally." To change EHRs I would have to manually download hundreds of client charts. It would be hours of my time that I don’t have to devote to this. You dispute my claim about how you rolled out the price increase? Ok. Doesn’t change the fact that the sales rep who signed me up told me my price would never be raised, and then it was, and when I complained about this I did not get a satisfactory response. "A rep would never say this" well they did say it to me. I asked specifically because SimplePractice had just raised their rates, and it was a deciding factor in choosing TN over SP. Update to updated reply: I am aware how to download the charts. As stated, it will take time to do this for hundreds of clients. I can see you have no desire to address these issues. Also - your staff is unavailable on certain holidays. As I've repeatedly noted, you should maybe indicate that somewhere so that customers are aware. New update: I just spoke with a support rep who stated that you cannot help me migrate away and I will have to download each chart individually. I have more than 800 charts in TherapyNotes, and many of them include PDF documents that cannot be downloaded in one click with the TN notes. It's not an accurate representation to say it's possible to move each client quickly in light of this as I will have to move each PDF individually. It is also not fully honest to say you will help me, when the "help" is to just tell me how I can do it myself. Let me guess - I'm wrong about my own experience yet again? You don't seem interested in providing support, just damage control. Response: At this point I am no longer looking for support. You said yourself that if I'm unhappy with TN, I should just leave. Which I will be doing, at the expense of a significant amount of my time. I am making the pattern of dishonesty and poor customer service known publicly for other potential customers. I did try several times to get TN to provide support and address this privately and did not get anywhere, other than being told I am wrong about what I observed and experienced.
Response from TherapyNotes, LLC· May 7, 2025
Amy, I looked up your case and see a representative is working with you and opened a ticket to research why you are having scheduling issues. We recently added a lot of portal scheduling enhancements, so there might be a bug that associated with those changes. We have tens of thousands of people in our Facebook group, so we have to do a reasonable amount of moderation in line with our group policies, to keep things orderly. I dispute your claim that we lied about pricing changes. We rolled out new pricing with much care. A sales rep would never say that we would never raise rates. He probably said that we have never risen rates, because until recently we had never raised rates since we launched in 2010. We provide 24/7 live phone and email support, and generally receive stellar reviews. That is correct that we get to take off work on major holidays. We notify our customers when this is going to occur in TherapyNotes. We are monitoring our servers every day, including holidays, and have staff on standby in case of issues. Given your 1 star review of our service, it seems that you would benefit from switching to another EHR. Best of luck. Follow up regarding migrating away: You can download all the notes for a patient in a single batch. You can also put your account into storage mode and download the records as needed if you don't have time to do it all at once. Our amazing support reps, available 24/7 would be happy to assist you. That's correct we don't have a way to export all uploaded files for a patient currently, such as PDF files. We do have a tool in development to do this that will hopefully be ready in a month or so. It's unclear what support you are looking for. We said that the scheduling issue was being investigated. We have already addressed a couple bugs related to the new scheduling enhancements.
