Physicians
Byron Tabbut, M.D. Wheaton Eye Clinic, Wheaton, IL"I am ‘Evangelistic’ about the SRS solution...your best advocate…My practice’s growth, with paper, was limited…EMRs would have limited us, too…With SRS, our growth was enabled…We added three new physicians last year and are projected to add two this year and no ancillary staff is needed to support them."
Harvinder Sandhu, M.D. Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, NY"When making my decision as to which digital charting system to purchase, having chart portability and being able to quickly alleviate the shortage of available space in my office were my primary goals. The elegant design of SRS and the simple interface has made it easy for me to reach my goals."
Ariel Ostad, M.D. New York, NY“SRS gives me independence, freedom and flexibility…I spend quality time with my children while being able to respond to emergencies and do chart work from home…SRS enables me to meet the expectations of my patients for responses in a ‘New York Minute’…it allowed me to grow my practice into a busy dermatologic surgery center without renting an additional floor of expensive NYC real estate to house charts.”
Mark Brown, M.D. Vision Partners, Mobile, AL"When I walk into an exam room I feel confident that I have all of the patient's data available to me at the push of a button. I vividly remember the days when we had paper charts, and charts and/or notes were missing—and how embarrassing it was NOT to have a complete patient history/chart—especially when the treatment plan was missing. It’s a significant part of a patient's first impression. Having a complete chart when needed often adds to the confidence-factor a patient feels under my care."
Laith Jazrawi, M.D. NYU/Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, New York, NY"Off-site access to my medical records is critical, especially with multiple office locations. SRS allows me to run my practice with multiple offices as one flowing network, improving patient care and office efficiency."
Craig M. Walker, M.D. Cardiovascular Institute of the South (CIS), Houma, LA“After suffering through three failed attempts to implement traditional EMRs—the most recent being a CCHIT-certified product—we were thrilled to find a solution that was fully embraced throughout our entire enterprise. SRS clearly understands our complex clinical workflows, and the robust hybrid EMR easily conformed to the diverse requirements of each of our providers. We could not have found a better partner.”
Jay L. Meizlish, M.D. Cardiac Specialists, Fairfield, CT"I’m seeing 25% more patients, and I’m 25% less tired because of the efficiencies and advantages of SRS. It has been a remarkable experience. I would not want to go back to the old days."
Richard E. Fleming, M.D. Princeton Orthopaedic Associates, Princeton, NJ"When patients call with questions, I can effortlessly access their charts through SRS. The turnaround time has been wonderful! My patients love that I get back to them quickly and always have all their information at my fingertips. I really feel as though I'm delivering superior patient care."
Robert D. Keehn, M.D. OrthoMaryland, Baltimore, MD"I have maximum control over my clinical environment without sacrificing the way I prefer to practice medicine."
James S. Gebhard, M.D. Rocky Mountain Orthopaedic Associates, Grand Junction, CO"SRS has made access to complete and accurate patient charts simple, convenient, and fast. Patient visit documentation is easy for the doctors and the efficiency of the entire office has increased."
Michael P. Dohm, M.D. Rocky Mountain Orthopaedic Associates, Grand Junction, CO"Organized, instantaneous access to accurate patient medical records has resulted in better patient care. Better patient care has resulted in the growth of our practice. You can't appreciate the benefits SRSsoft brings to a practice if you are still entrenched in paper."
Daniel J. Albright, M.D. Raleigh Orthopaedic Clinic, Raleigh, NC"I get into SRS anytime, anywhere. From home, I'm connected into the office. I can get any note I want, any test, any lab. That's convenient. That's definitely an advantage."
Wallace F. Andrew, M.D. Raleigh Orthopaedic Clinic, Raleigh, NC"What I didn't like about EMRs was the point-and-click…the doctor is sitting there looking at the computer screen with his back to the patient. I did not want anything to do with a system like that."
Timothy H. Krahn, M.D. orthomemphis, Memphis, TN"SRSsoft has helped facilitate the growth of our practice. With minimal addition to overhead expense, we have hired four more physicians."
Thomas Roland, Jr., M.D. NYU Cochlear Implant Center, New York, NY“SRS enhances my feeling of confidence...with all the information at my fingertips, I see more patients in less time without their feeling like they are being rushed...my ability to respond to calls immediately, instead of at the end of the day, allows me to get home earlier…the value of SRS is huge in handling requests for medical records and correspondence…increased efficiency saves significant time and money…I was pleasantly surprised by the ease of implementation.”
Jacob R. Battle, M.D. Waco Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Clinic, Waco, TX"The conversion to electronic medical records was painless, the immediate efficiency we experienced throughout our office was remarkable, and we have clearly improved our level of patient care and service, I have no regrets regarding our decision to go with SRS—the only mistake we made was not making the change to SRS years ago."
David M. Pope, M.D. Bone & Joint Clinic of Baton Rouge, Baton Rouge, LA"The SRS hybrid EMR allows us to streamline our clinical workflow, boost our productivity, and focus our time on delivering quality patient care—rather than entering data. Providing the best care possible to my patients in an effective and efficient manner is my number-one priority, and SRS is clearly focused on helping me accomplish these goals."
Dean Carlson, M.D. Eye Associates of Colorado Springs, Colorado Springs, CO"Our physicians experience a high-volume of patient visits on a daily basis, so it was imperative to find a robust EMR solution focused on physician productivity. The SRS hybrid EMR is easy to use and provides us the cutting edge tools that increase workflow efficiencies throughout our practice."
Jim Barad, M.D. Eye Associates of Colorado Springs, Colorado Springs, CO"SRS delivered all the EMR functionality we need to consistently provide excellent patient care and service, yet the implementation was effortless. I didn't realize how productive the SRS hybrid EMR really is—I thought I'd have to reduce my volume on the day we went live, but I didn't."
Thomas G. Padanilam, M.D. Toledo Orthopaedic Surgeons, Toledo, OH"After extensive EMR research and comparative product evaluation, we concluded that the SRS hybrid EMR would deliver considerable workflow efficiencies not likely with other EMRs—and would do so quickly. We see tremendous opportunities for practice growth with SRS, and appreciate that we will not have to modify our successful practice styles in order to achieve this growth."
Peter G. Noordsij, M.D. Concord Orthopaedics, Concord, NH“The SRS hybrid EMR addresses our physicians’ technology needs without interrupting the way we practice medicine. Since the SRS hybrid EMR is composed of customizable modules, we were able to select and modify the technology to fit the needs of our practice.”
J. Mark Engel, M.D. University Children's Eye Center, East Brunswick, NJ"The accolades we received from high-profile SRS hybrid EMR users nationwide were very influential in our decision to implement SRS. I was extremely impressed with the flexibility and usability of the SRS solution—in today's market, an intuitive, user-friendly solution is not easy to come by."
Burrel C. Gaddy, M.D. Midwest Orthopaedics, Shawnee Mission, KS"The confidence SRS had that their hybrid EMR solution was the right choice for our practice was very reassuring and 100% justified. In hindsight, it's no surprise that SRS is an industry leader, given the quality of its product, its deep understanding of physicians' needs, and its dominant experience in orthopaedics. Only SRS is willing to put its money where its mouth is."
Stephan M. McCollam, M.D. Peachtree Orthopaedic Clinic, Atlanta, GA"It is critical that someone speak on behalf of the physicians to make sure that the government's expectations for 'meaningful EHR use' do not place unrealistic burdens on them. Private-practicing physicians are underrepresented on the government's committees, so I hope that the petition and provider comments will be given significant consideration as the regulations are finalized."
David Rodgers, M.D. Chestnut Hill Cardiology, Flowertown, PA"When it came to choosing between a hybrid EMR and a point-and-click EMR, the choice was obvious. The SRS hybrid EMR will not slow us down with heavily templated data entry. We will see an immediate increase in productivity, without compromising the high level of care that we provide to our patients."
Thomas E. Dunlap, M.D. Northern California Medical Associates (NCMA), Santa Rosa, CA"The opportunity to 'test drive' the hybrid EMR with no strings attached eliminated any hesitations we had and showed that SRS has 100% belief in their solution—that confidence is very reassuring. The pilot program proved that we would be successful with SRS enterprise-wide,"
Chris Nicholson, M.D. Southeastern Orthopedic Center, Savannah, GA“The CCHIT EMR we had purchased would have placed overwhelming demands on our physicians and resulted in a significant loss of productivity, even if we had overcome the initial implementation hurdles. The hybrid EMR will be easily adopted by all of our providers because it accommodates each of our individual practice styles, and I am confident that it will deliver workflow and patient-care advantages that far surpass whatever we might have received from the government.”
Carlos Guanche, M.D. Southern California Orthopedic Institute, Van Nuys, CA“Within days, SRS transformed my practice into a calm and organized operation, enabling me to deliver efficient and superior care. After thoroughly researching traditional EMRs, we realized that each physician would have to invest far more in lost productivity than the potential $44,000 government incentives. It is crystal clear why SRS enjoys a dominant market share in orthopaedics.”
Mark Malton, M.D. Horizon Eye Care, Charlotte, NC“SRS understands our high-performance practice and our unique needs. Their software design is the most flexible and open we have seen, and the ePrescribing module is the easiest and quickest to use. We are confident that when we are ready to transition to a full EMR, SRS will be the right choice as well.”
Roger Blauvelt, M.D. Cascade Orthopaedics, Auburn, WA“A high-performance EMR was the next logical step as we continue to upgrade and modernize our clinical operation. Upon researching the overwhelming EMR market, SRS quickly emerged as an industry leader, and one well suited to fill our needs with a minimum of transition headache. An EMR has become a "must" in practices with multiple providers doing work in multiple locations.”
Francis J. O'Donnell, M.D. OrthoNeuro, Columbus, OH“We need a solution that will streamline our workflow and not impede the physician-patient relationship we value so much. The Rx Workflow Manager™ with ePrescribing and Order Management modules will speed up our prescription and test-ordering process, and the optional easy-to-use templates will allow us to interact with our patients without onerous pointing and clicking in the exam room.”
Michael S. Petersen, M.D. Valley Oak Orthopaedics, Davis, CA“The positive feedback we received regarding the performance of the SRS hybrid EMR in busy orthopaedic practices across the nation assured me that we had selected the best solution. We are confident that our decision to replace a traditional EMR with SRS will take us along the right path by streamlining our workflow, delivering fast and reliable access to patient information, and increasing office efficiency.”
Dan A. Nichols, M.D. St. Paul Eye Clinic, St. Paul, MN"In order to modernize our high-volume practice, we needed a usable solution that would satisfy the demands of each individual physician. For example, the SRS Clinical Summary provides a time-saving, one-screen snapshot of a patient's complete medical history, and each physician can modify the Clinical Summary view to meet his or her own preference. This efficiency and flexibility made SRS the clear choice for our practice."
James Michael Foerster, M.D. Regional Cardiology Associates Medical Group, Sacramento, CA"After years of in-depth investigation and analysis of the alternatives, we determined the SRS hybrid EMR to be by far the most intuitive and physician-friendly software available in the marketplace. The practices we spoke with and visited uniformly raved about the success, ease of use, and the positive impact the SRS hybrid EMR had on physician productivity, staff efficiency, and patient care—something we didn't hear when talking to traditional EMR users."
Anthony Viola, M.D. New Milford Orthopedic Associates, New Milford, CT"In order to reap the advantages of an all-digital environment, each and every one of my colleagues will need to shift completely away from our antiquated paper-based chart system. Because SRS is an easy-to-use, intuitive solution that increases physician productivity and workflow efficiency, I have no doubt that the transition to SRS will be a complete success."
Neil R. Clark, M.D. The Heart Group, Lancaster, PA"The implementation of SRS was not so much about an electronic database of our patients' records, but about the opportunity to change how we care for our patients. SRS gives us the tools we need at every level of care, whether in the emergency room at 3:00 a.m. or answering patient inquiries in the office. We wonder how we cared for patients without it."
B. David Gorman, M.D. New York, NY“SRS is worth its weight in gold…with no paper charts to move, we relocated our office with only a few hours of practice interruption…and converted former chart room to an optical…I never feel out of touch, even when I’m out of the country…when I’m finished seeing patients, my day ends—I don’t have to return to my desk to piles of paperwork…remote chart access saves me after-hours trips to my office or the emergency room…patients have increased confidence coming to a technologically up-to-date office...it was the easiest implementation of all of our technology.”
Jeffrey Liebmann, M.D. Glaucoma Associates, New York, NY“SRS delivers as promised…it’s a physician-friendly software that doesn’t slow me down…the efficiency provided by SRS enables us to do research we could never have done before.”
Terry Finlayson, M.D. Alpine Orthopaedic Specialists, Logan, UT"We tried a traditional EMR, but it was such a major change that it slowed us down and made us less productive. With SRS, we didn't have to change how we practice, but we still have the benefit of immediate electronic access to our records and we keep more accurate, more complete charts."
John Linberg, M.D., Chairman West Virginia University Eye Institute, Morgantown, WV"Each of our 34 exam rooms and all six of our work areas have SRS installed as well as our clerical, billing and administrative personnel and, of course, our physicians. Fast access to patient registrations and insurance information has saved our reception personnel a great deal of time and has significantly decreased their aggravation and level of stress. Our billing personnel have become much more effective since they have little or no wait for the examination/special tests."
Allen Natow, M.D. Woodmere, NY"The SRS system is, by far, the most useful digital charting software. It is the only electronic medical record software we saw that doesn’t interfere with our accustomed style of practicing medicine. With SRS, we use the same exam forms that we have been using for years and we are still able to quickly document and illustrate an exam."
Daniel Jost, M.D. Boone Clinic, Columbia, MO"SRS has been extremely easy to integrate into our 38 physician clinic. We’ve been able to streamline our practice and reduce staff while serving an increasing volume of patients. The completeness of our documentation even down to telephone messages greatly reduces our medical/legal risk. SRS simply works."
David Boisoneau, M.D. Ear, Nose & Throat Associates of Southeastern Connecticut, Waterford, CT"I had a great year but SRS made it a great financial year. I earned more than ever before because SRS helps me see more patients while actually decreasing my staff cost! Now that's a medical miracle! Thank you, SRS."
Jaime Gerber, M.D. Cardiology Associates of New Haven, CT , New Haven, CT"I love SRS, it is great software. The product is wonderful. SRS has been an absolute godsend for our group. I have nothing but kudos to say about the software and the company. I have access from anywhere including from Yale-New Haven Hospital and can print directly from SRS to the hospital printers."
Barry Goldberg, M.D. Advanced Dermatology Care, Danbury, CT"When we saw the SRS system, we knew that it would solve our chart access and storage problems while maintaining our patient volume. The patient encounter was done more efficiently allowing us to spend more time on clinical matters, rather than clerical."
Avi Bitton, M.D. Heritage Medical Group, Forest Hills, NY"With SRS, we have eliminated misfilings as there is no more constant pulling and filing of charts. My office is a much more pleasant place to work now as there are no longer daily "crises" to locate misplaced patient charts."
Kevin W. McCurry, M.D. Riffe Medical Center, Mossy Rock, WA"SRS has been in use in my office for 2.5 years and has greatly simplified our office routine and work flows. I can't imagine being without it. My staff loves it, and patients like the idea of electronic records. It gives them the idea their doctor is up to date and on the leading edge. SRS has enhanced our interoffice communications tremendously. SRS really means ‘service real soon’."
Crawford Smith, M.D. Colon & Rectal Specialists, Ltd, Richmond, VA"SRS has transformed me from a caterpillar to a butterfly. I have shed my cocoon and my practice is ready to soar."
Sean O'Donovan, M.D. Colon & Rectal Specialists, Ltd, Richmond, VA"SRS is my new assistant, sitting on my desktop, ready to help and always saving me time."
Steven K. Mishkin, M.D. Millennium Eye Care, Freehold, NJ"Our ambulatory surgery center can retrieve chart notes directly from the computer without the need for the physical chart. This has streamlined the process of surgery scheduling, eliminating delays and loss of information. Searching for lost charts is a thing of the past, with the recent visits’ notes easily retrievable from the computer."
Marc Safran, M.D. Clay Eye Center, Liverpool, NY"All told, the system has been easy to understand and use, both from my and my employees' perspective. We have never had any major technical difficulties and I feel that our chart backup system is now superior to those of traditional paper charting."
Edward Hedaya, M.D. Invision Eyecare, Lakewood, NJ"We had reviewed many systems for years before we decided to purchase the SRS system. We are happy to say we made the right choice. We have had smooth sailing since we installed it over 18 months ago. We have never had down time. It is a blessing not to have to find the chart anymore. It’s great to have each chart section organized!"
Corina Gerontis, M.D. Commack, NY"I have completely eliminated paper charts in my office and I now have immediate access to my patient records."
Eric Lichtenstein, M.D. Pediatric Ophthalmology, Fresh Meadows, NY"I am an avid fan of SRS and am happy to be cited as a reference. Before starting my practice, I researched various digital records software packages and found nothing that compared favorably to SRS. The ease of customization and integration with Microsoft Word has allowed me to develop and refine my own chart notes and forms; my SRS is truly my own personal version."
Mark A. Steele, M.D. Pediatric Ophthalmic Consultants, NYU Medical Center, New York, NY"In addition to the cost savings, fast access to charts from the office or home has enabled us to provide top notch, immediate service to patients and referring physicians. With SRS, we are able to provide assistance without having to put patients and referring physicians on hold while the chart is retrieved."
Louis Furlan, M.D. Pediatric Ophthalmic Consultants, NYU Medical Center, New York, NY"SRS has given me a true sense of control in my pediatric ophthalmology practice. I have all the information I need about any of my patients instantly."
Lawrence Jacobson, M.D. Lawrence Jacobson, M.D., New York, NY"SRS has truly changed the workflow of my office for the better–making it more efficient and less stressful for myself and my employees."
Jeffrey Edelstein, M.D. Jeffrey Paul Edelstein, M.D., Ltd., Chandler, AZ"Since I switched to SRS, I have been thrilled with the ease of finding information quickly and being able to document recurring items immediately through custom templates. SRS has helped storing and retrieving patient pre- and post-op photos in a BIG way!"
John T. Andronaco, M.D., Chairman, Department of Orthopedics Hackensack University Medical Center, Hackensack, NJ"SRS has made a difference in the level of patient care. Patients are never put on hold while a chart is located. When a patient calls to check their MRI results, the report is pulled up on the screen in a few seconds, and a notation is quickly added to the patient’s chart confirming that they were given the test results. I find that documentation of patient conversations has risen to 100% as all charts are accessible immediately."
Dennis Matzkin, M.D. Eye Sight Laser Center, Atlanta, GA"Having been in a number of different practices over the years, chart issues have always been a nightmare. From tracking the chart, to organizing the chart, to multiple staff members needing the chart at the same time. Now, with SRS, I do not have charts or filing clerks and I put the extra space I had anticipated using for a chart room to better use."
Mark Singh, M.D. Blue Hills Medical Group, Braintree, MA"The SRS system made it very easy for us to take this disparate group of documents and organize it into an electronic chart very similar to the paper chart that we were currently using. Because of this, the implementation of the SRS system was amazingly simple. It took no more than 30 minutes to train our staff, most of whom have very limited computer experience."
Ilene Fischer, M.D. Murray Hill OB/GYN, New York, NY"SRS plays a vital role in our healthcare strategy. That translates into a digital chart solution that gets the job done and allows us to manage workflow on our terms, while I focus on running my practice."
Nicholas Sala, M.D. Pediatric Ophthalmology of Erie, Erie, PA"When a parent asks me a question about a sibling of a patient in the exam, I no longer have to ask my secretary for the chart, I just pull it up on the exam room monitor in a few seconds which impresses my patients and saves me time."
Michael Bartiss, M.D. Family Eye Care, Pinehurst, NC"Each night, I backup my entire chart room to my laptop. If a patient calls in the evening or on a weekend, I have their chart in front of me in a few seconds."
George Kurita, M.D. Clarksville Dermatology, Clarksville, TN"Since SRS brings the patient’s chart right up on the screen, I can quickly and easily document patient conversations. Before SRS, documenting every patient phone call was a chore as each chart had to be located."
Ben Cohen, M.D. Retina Associates, New York, NY"I purchased the SRS software package because it was the only system that didn’t require me to alter the way I am accustomed to working in the office, and it gave me fast access to any of my patients’ charts from anywhere in my three offices."
Jay Bernstein, M.D. Pediatric Ophthalmology Associates, Cedar Knolls, NJ"SRS makes my office more efficient and keeps my charts organized. I have three offices around the New York Metropolitan area, all are networked. All of my charts are available from any office at any time."
